MAKE Roanoke Hackathon

Help us customize our open source membership management software! Learn how you can use Python and web technologies to help improve MAKE Roanoke (and makerspaces worldwide!) on your own computer. Then we'll work together to squash bugs and improve the software!

The first half of the event, attendees will set up the development environment for Member Matters (https://github.com/MakersOfSweden/MemberMatters/tree/dev) on their own computer. They will learn how to run their development version and how to make changes.

The second half will be spent on easy fixes and small features to get people started on Member Matters development, along with discussion about bigger future projects.

Attendees will need to bring their own laptop, and should be familiar with Python and/or web development. Member Matters uses Django and Quasar.

This event is recommended for ages 16+, and is open to the public. You do NOT need to be a MAKE Roanoke member to attend!
