#SIPB Hackathons ![hackathon](../photos/hackathon-2.jpg) Tomorrow: [The Great Hacksby](hackathons/great-hacksby) We hold a hackathon about one Saturday or Sunday a month in the SIPB office. A hackathon is a great opportunity to get involved in a project or get people involved in your own. A recent hackathon, [[Hackasaurus Rex|hackathons/HackasaurusRex]], drew over 50 people to the office and spawned several exciting new projects. In the past, we have had hackathons such as our [Bug Squashathon](http://sipb-www.scripts.mit.edu/doc/wiki/LennyBugs), which was dedicated to squashing release-critical bugs in Debian. Sometimes we run also run [[Documentathons|doc]]. In general most hackathons are open to any project, and absolutely everyone is welcome to attend. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at sipb@mit.edu. If you are a member or prospective interested in running a hackathon, you should read some [[wisdom|runninghackathons]] we have collected.
