Sayan writes a fine post. If the participants in the hackfest need an
introduction to Open Source, then it is less of a "hack" fest and more
of a "here's how you can start, let's pick these easy topics to learn
all the basic skills". I have a reasonable aversion to terming every
event as a "hack" fest but that is probably because I am old.
Generally we do not call that a hackfest. I was thinking about writing
the same. But you already did with better words :)
