I think the Scalathon's a great idea, and I'd be interseted do a workshop on GeoTrellis\have a table at the hackathon where I helped people get started with hacking on Geotrellis. http://geotrellis.io/

So it sounds like it would be interesting, but I still don't exactly know what it is. How does scalathon compare to the NEScala conference ? 


Scalathon is a hackathon, not a conference. In its past two incarnations, we set aside time for talks, but the primary focus of such an event is to bring Scala open source project teams together with people who 

  • want to learn more about the projects
  • may want to become contributors to open source projects (and, thus, to the overall Scala ecosystem)
  • want to meet some of the people in the Scala community in a somewhat more informal setting

Think of it as a complement to something like NEScala. Like NEScala, a hackathon is community-oriented. However, it’s less about talks and more about encouraging participation.
