A [[hackathon|hackathons]] is one of SIPB's time-honored traditions, where people gather in the office and hack on awesome projects. Hackasaurus will be running on March 20th from 1pm until arbitrarily late. Feel free to [contact](#contact) us at any time, for pretty much any [reason](#reason).

-I think that this was perhaps the most productive hackathon since I came to SIPB (except maybe the Debian bug-squashathon). We got a lot of new people involved in projects, and even got some new projects going! Over 50 people showed up (including some people from <a href="http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2010">Libre Planet</a>), and the office had at least 5-10 people in it starting at 1pm, and going until I left at 4am -- I've never seen a hackathon so populated the whole time. We should definitely do this again!

Anyway, here are some of the things that got done:
## Projects
-So you'd like to work on a project, would you? Great! That is, um, the point of having a hackathon. We have a list of potential projects posted to our [[project ideas page|projects/ideas/]]. Feel free to poke around there for something that looks interesting.
