Maybe these people didn't have (or feared they didn't have) the experience to work on the projects that folks were hacking on. Details are still in the works, but I think this project could be for these people. I'd quickly cover the basics of version control, look at SVN and Git, talk about PAUSE and developer-related aspects of CPAN, introduce screen sharing and distributed pair programming, and then we'd hack together something like a little web service or whatnot, wherein everyone could contribute something regardless of their skill level. The end product wouldn't necessarily serve as a final product to directly benefit the Perl community but would rather introduce folks to the concepts and attitude of contributing to the Perl community. + * '''Introductory Hackathon''' - I noticed last year that several people showed up to the hackathon with no clear project to work on, and several more who signed up but didn't show.
