2nd HacKeYthon 2024

There was an error in the program for Thursday: We start the second day of the HacKeYthon at 10:00 am in the seminar room 236 (not at 9:00 am as originally stated).

As successor event of our first HacKeYthon 2018, the 2nd HacKeYthon will take place on Wednesday, February 21, and Thursday, February 22, at KIT in Karlsruhe.

The goal of this event is to bring forward the development of the KeY system and to transfer knowledge from experienced developers to newer members and associates of the KeY project. In particular, also students working as student assistants with KeY or writing a related Bachelor or Master thesis are cordially invited to join the event.

Organization

The idea is to have two types of sessions:

Work in groups: Participants will work in small groups of 3–5 persons on one or more topics of suitable scope. Each group should consist of at least one experienced and at least one less experienced developer.

For information about the list of topics offered and associated team speakers, please visit our dedicated HacKeYthon page on GitHub.

Bug fixing sprint: Participants will concentrate on fixing small bugs and implementing “featurelets”, i.e. very tiny features and quality of life improvements such as the option to mark folders as favorites in the file dialog (which was implemented during last HacKeYthon). For information about candidate issues that can probably be handled in the limited time of the event, look at this GitHub project.

If you have questions about the organization, feel free to contact Wolfram Pfeifer (wolfram.pfeifer@kit.edu).
