Hackers building jobsite for ngo in 13 hours straight, it’s called dirty drupal hackathon, baby!


By toon ketels - Posted on 12 August 2009

hackerspace ditry drupal hackathon zuiddag

Last saturday I found myself getting lost in Brussels. Finally, 45 minutes late, I arrived at Hackerspace in the middle of schaerbeek. Didn’t know what to expect when I approached the, what looked like an abandoned building.

Just a couple of days earlier, I read on the drupal forum that hackerspace was organizing a dirty drupal hackathon. Never met any hackers before, never did a hackathon. Some guy with obviously not enough sleep created a short movie to promote the event. Didn’t found out much from it either.

It became pretty clear when I entered the room. A bunch of geeks (they prefer to be called hackers) discussing how to create a joblisting website for a ngo. The challenge (hackers like challenges) was to create it using drupal (most people who touched drupal know it can be quite a challenge), by an unorganized diverse group of people (diverse in the sense of experience with drupal, most participants had any), working on it for free (I thought developers were expensive), on a sunny saturday afternoon (hmm, plus evening and night) in one straight session until it was finished (hence the -athon like marathon, but you already figured that one out).

Now I hear you thinking... why would anybody like to waste a perfectly nice day staring at his computer screen with a bunch of geeks you’ve never met before?! Good point, several reasons justify it.

For one, it’s really nice to work on a project that will be used. Especially when you’re doing good for a ngo. Second, these hackers are quite fun to hang around with. For sure, they can be a bit weird, but they are not the evil, socially challenged, only speak geek, nerds that you might think of. Third, it’s definitely a good way to learn more about your favorite cms, from people with different backgrounds and more coding expertise than I could ever dream of. Fourth, although my knowledge is quite limited, you still find ways to contribute. Fifth, you get a very good feeling when you finish (more or less) the project at three o’clock in the morning with a group of die hards. A sense of accomplishment, contribution, blent with group excitement and a strange form of relaxation and energy. You spend 13 hours working on it and it all falls together.

Only for the last one it’s worth participating.

Thanks Hans for bringing these guys together. Thanks Bart for giving us a challenge to work on. Thanks Batigolix for the pics. Thanks all hackers for participating... it was really worth it.

Site note: I talk about hackers but would not consider myself one. I lack the technical curiosity, perseverance and expertise to tear things apart and create new stuff from it.
