The first OpenFPM Hackathon takes place February 9/10, 2023 at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden.

With OpenFPM developing into a global open-source project for scalable scientific computing, the community desires to meet in order to synchronize contributions, review and produce code, and get to know the core developers personally.

This 2-day in-person Hackathon is aimed at users, contributors, and developers. The core OpenFPM Developers will be present and available during the entire hackathon, so this is a great opportunity to get your ideas and wishes into the project and start close collaborations with them.

But the Hackathon also welcomes people with little or no C++ coding skills who are willing to use the two days to contribute towards the OpenFPM documentation, tutorials, or revamping the OpenFPM web page.

Additionally, we welcome potential new users and people who are interested in learning more about OpenFPM in order to decide whether to start using it. You will have all the expert users and developers on site to talk to and answer your questions, and you can implement a first own hands-on example implementation to get familiar with OpenFPM and its usage.

But most importantly, this serves as a kick-off meeting for building a global community around OpenFPM. Be part of it!
