5 We hold a hackathon about one Saturday or Sunday a month in the SIPB
6 office. A hackathon is a great opportunity to get involved in a
7 project or get people involved in your own. Our most 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
8 squashing release-critical bugs in Debian. Sometimes we run also run
9 [[Documentathons|doc]].
11 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.
