Individual Preparation¶

• Bring your own computer (and power supply!). Better with a power bar, "compatible plug" and long cable, and ethernet cable (we'll provide wifi, but better you have a cable, too).
• Install git and the compiler tools, and come with a working QGIS development environment if possible.

Fun Run/Walk¶

Recommended old town route: http://www.grancanaria.com/patronato_turismo/Vegueta-Route.29314.0.html

FAQ¶

• Is the QGIS Hackfest just a coding event?
  • It is mainly a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in the QGIS project and/or are committed to improving the QGIS project.
  • On demand we can do some presentations of current working qgis implementation and new upcoming features to spread the idea of openGIS software
• Is the QGIS Hackfest for developers only?
  • No: anybody can help, with testing, checking out bugs and fixes, documentation and more.
• Where can I get help and more information about the hackfest?
  • Contact ???
