Registration is now open for the EPICS Collaboration online Codeathon and Documentathon which will be held on Zoom from March 8 to March 12, 2021: 

https://indico.esss.lu.se/event/2585/ 

Registration is open now until March 1. 

There will be a variety of projects for participants to work on, accommodating a range of technical skills and experience. Activities will include writing software to add new features or address bugs, creating and improving documentation, and reviewing changes in software and documentation. All participants need to have a GitHub account and should be familiar with the GitHub workflow. 

Project lists are being developed:

•   EPICS Base
• with tagged tickets on Launchpad 
• and issues on GitHub
• CS-Studio and EPICS Services
• areaDetector

We expect to have participants across many timezones so there will likely be activity around the clock. We encourage you to set aside time during the week to join and contribute to the EPICS Collaboration.

Registered participants will be sent information on connecting to the Zoom meeting. 

Additional information about the event is available at https://epics.anl.gov/meetings/codeathon-21/index.php
