Agreed

It would appear more of a general talk/session rather than a hackfest. As Mayur Patil had initially given a thought about it, he can prefer to submit a talk/session on it and not a hackfest session. I am a contributor to JBoss Security (Picketlink, Keycloak) since Jan 2014. If the slot for talk is allocated or looks feasible, I would be happy to join him. In addition, I have also submitted a session for my own talk.

Generally we do not call that a hackfest. I was thinking about writing
the same. But you already did with better words :)
