Hackfest 2017 - Paris
June 6, 2017
Developers are planning for the 3rd annual Inkscape Hackfest - this year to be in Paris, France. Lucky hackers! It will be held from June 27th through July 1st, at Carrefour Numérique, which is a Fablab/hackerspace located inside Paris's modern science museum, Cité des sciences et de l'industrie.
Hackfests are usually rare opportunities for programmers to come together in person, for intense hacking sessions. We usually notice increased motivation and excitement about development just before and after hackfests, and a flurry of activity with the code.
