About

On Thursday 19 November, the whole Home Assistant team from the Open Home Foundation is in The Hague for its team meetup, and we're opening our hackathon day to the community. Come build, fix and explore Home Assistant together with the people who work on it every day.

What we'll work on (probably)

Fix-a-thon: small fixes all day long, from the Month of "What the Heck?!" reports to security work. Drop in for an hour or stay the whole day.
Device types: help kickstart one of the biggest changes to Home Assistant in years: teaching it what a device actually is.
Review and process automation: make the road from pull request to merge faster.
Open innovation: got an idea? Pitch it in the morning and find people to build it with.

The tracks run at the same time in different rooms, so there's always a place for you, whatever you like to work on. You don't have to pick one for the whole day: hop between tracks whenever you feel like it, or join one for an hour and move on to the next.

No competition and no prizes, just building together. Whatever gets merged ships in the beta the week after.

Schedule (roughly)

10:00 Doors open, coffee
10:30 Kickoff and pitches
13:00 Lunch
17:00 Demos
18:00 Drinks & dinner at the venue
