Hi Folks,

We have what I hope will come as good news to all of you. There will be a virtual IETF hackathon as part of IETF 108. 
We are still working out some details but want to share what we do know now so you can plan accordingly.

The virtual hackathon will run the week before the IETF meeting, July 20-24.
Kickoff via Meetecho, Monday 1400 UTC.
Closing, Friday 1400 UTC.
Project presentations will be either during the closing or during the IETF meeting, July 27-31.

Registration will be required but free. There will not be hackathon t-shirts.
Champions post projects to the wiki and lead these projects as usual. How and when they meet throughout the week is up to them.
We are in the process of building out the wiki and registration system with the goal of being available when IETF registration opens on June 8.
We plan to use Meetecho for the Hackathon overall, and if possible, provide Meetecho sessions for individual teams that want them as well.
More details will follow.

Cheers,
Charles
