-## Aftermath
-
-(written by jhamrick)
-
-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:
-
-<b>Gutenbach</b>: We started the move to CUPS! The filter was patched and turned into a back end, and the configuration parts of the package were also translated to work with CUPS. All that remains is to put everything back together and test it.
-
-<b>MITeX</b>: MITeX is finally off the ground! We have a working website (http://mitex.mit.edu/) which gives you a template to fill in, and will then output a .tex, .ps, or .pdf file.
-
-<b>Scripts Pony</b>: several new features were added, including being able to see and add aliases for hostnames and asking for a "purpose" on hostname requests. A zephyrbot is in the works to approve people's hostname requests. The general parts of scripts-pony were split out into a separate "scripts" module to facilitate adding other scripts.mit.edu account management apps in the future.
-
-<b>MacAthena</b>: now has a zephyr package!
-
-<b>apt-zephyr hook</b>: now suppresses the empty zephyr when no packages are changed, and sends a "Done." zephyr when dpkg finishes running.
-
-<b>anygit</b>: decided on a better architecture, and made progress towards having a reasonable indexer.
-
-<b>QuickPrint</b>: we added Windows 7 setup instructions, switched to using the new CUPS printing infrastructure, and fixed double-sided printing problems from some OSes. We also started working on a rewrite of quickprint in Python (the current code is PHP).
-
-<b>sql.mit.edu</b>: We tracked down a bunch of users who were abusing their quotas (always due to a spam-filled mediawiki, not intentional action on the user's part), and spent some time optimizing the performance of sql.mit.edu. We also started working on a PostgreSQL implementation for sql.mit.edu.
-
-<b>Debathena</b>: Worked on rewriting 'add', 'attach', etc.
-
-(My apologies if I missed anybody or any projects in the list above)
-
-Given how much work got done, and how many new people we introduced to SIPB during this hackathon, I think that SIPB will need to continue to have such awesome hacking parties of this magnitude every so often! It’s probably not feasible to do it every month, but once or twice a semester seems like a reasonable rate. Look forward to more exciting hackathons in the future!
-
-## 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.
-
-If you have trouble finding a project, please let one of the organizers know (a particular contact is Greg Brockman, gdb@mit.edu or gdb on Zephyr).
-
-Feel free to work on projects of your own (and to convince other people to work on them as well!). Our [zephyr class](#zephyrclass) would be a great place to do this.

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. Our most recent hackathon, [[Hackasaurus Rex|HackasaurusRex]], drew over 50 people to the office and spawned several exciting new projects.
