TRUGhat 2006:1 Recap

I’ve been very remiss in updating things lately, a promised update on what happened with TRUGhat 2006:1. Sy Ali put together a brief summary of the event right after it happened. We had a good turnout to this event, with twelve of us present. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy with work over the last several months that I did not have time to prepare to the degree that I should have for what we wanted to do.
Everyone enjoyed themselves, and the project was interesting, but we didn’t get nearly as much done as I wanted to. The original goal was to fully reimplement libarchive in pure Ruby: we did not achieve that. In no way, though, would I call the hackahon a failure except on that measure. Most everyone who attended learned more about Ruby and about how tar files are constructed. There was high interested in continuing the work from a number of attendees, some of whom have continued to contribute to the SVN depot.
I know a bit better what needs to be done to run a hackathon, and will be ready for the next event which has been suggested for August. I’m looking forward to it.
