Introduction

Note: this page is a work in progress -- some information subject to change

Date: July 9-13, 2012

Location: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts USA

Goal: A follow on to the wildly successful previous hackfests!

Requirements: Attendees must be willing to spend their time during the event writing ctk code that contributes to the main ctk roadmap. This means spending the week immersed in C++, Qt, DCMTK, CMake, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this task are politely not invited :)

Group size: Maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from TheTeam.

Site Hosts: Steve Pieper and Ron Kikinis

Organizing Committee: Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward, Steve Pieper

Future Events: Future hackfests will be announced in advance, and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project. We welcome participation via the CTK email lists, the source code repository, and this website.

  • So far we have received confirmation for the following people (in no particular order). Please fill in your intentions in terms of common accommodation.

Note Note: There were also other invitations sent to active people on the community, and people who recently showed interest. When their intent will be known they will be added to the list.

Preparation

Developers should bring a laptop with the current CTK source code downloaded and built.

Use the CTK developers mailing list to discuss build issues and topics for ongoing work.

Travel & Hotel

Local contact

  • If you have any troubles during your visit, call Steve: +1 617 596 2719

Airport

Transportation on Site

Google's public transit search works well in Boston. The site is about 5 blocks from subway stops and busses. Parking on-site is $10-$15 per day. Cabs are fairly convenient for most trips (perhaps $40 to/from the airport).

Lodging

There are a lot of hotel options in Boston - several within easy walking distance of the 1249 Boylston facility and everything is accessible by public transport. Note that on Sunday night before the hackfest there is a big baseball game in the neighborhood (at Fenway Park) so hotels may be more expensive the first night, but should be cheaper the rest of the week.

  • Closest, cheapest, but least nice:

Howard Johnsons 1271 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02215 (800) 446-4656 howardjohnsonboston.com‎

  • Not too far - mid price:

Boston Hotel Buckminster 645 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02215 (800) 727-2825 bostonhotelbuckminster.com‎

  • Not too far - higher price:

Hotel Commonwealth 500 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02215 (617) 933-5000 hotelcommonwealth.com‎


Meeting Location

Catering

  • To be determined.

Weather

  • Probably pretty hot and humid...
