Events

Starting in 2023, the Evergreen community decided that the conference would be held in person and online in alternating years. The 2025 conference will be in person.

Annual Conference

Registration is still open!

Conference Dates: April 22 – 24, 2024
We’re returning for another year of online conference programming! This year’s online conference will be held on the Pheedloop platform. The conference week will include a virtual exhibit hall for sponsors, a pre-conference, and two full days of regular conference programs. Hackfest will be held on the same platform on the day following the regular conference. We will be adding more information on the new platform and providing pre-conference details so stay tuned for more information!

Pre-conference workshops will take place on Monday, April 22.

The main conference events will take place Tuesday, April 23 and Wednesday, April 24.

Hackfest will be held following the conference on Thursday, April 25.

Bug Squashing Week & Feedback Fest

The Evergreen community holds quarterly Bug Squashing Weeks and Feedback Fests to bring together community members to test and provide feedback on current bug and feature requests.

There are many ways to participate, including confirming bugs, providing bug feedback (critical feedback is welcome, as long as it’s constructive!), testing and signing off on bugs, providing bug patches, merging bug patches, providing testing environments, and more.

For more information see the Bug Squashing wiki page.

Hack-a-Way

The Evergreen community hosts a yearly Hack-a-Way in the fall with the goal of getting many community developers and documenters in a room together to ‘hack’ on Evergreen.

Proposals are being accepted to host the 2024 Evergreen Hack-a-Way. Here’s what is needed:

• A clean meeting space for 15 – 30 people.
• Working space for laptops.
• A TV, projector or other display.
• Adequate bandwidth for the users.
• A few snacks and forms of hydration and caffeine to keep blood sugar and productivity up.
• Facilitate reasonable hotel accommodations (cheaper is better but no bed bugs).
• Although not required it’s become tradition for the host to supply lunches.

Contact Rogan Hamby with your proposal.

Past Hack-a-Ways have been very productive at moving the Evergreen codebase forward – you can see the notes & accomplishments from previous Hack-a-Ways on the Evergreen wiki.

Community Meetings

Evergreen community meetings are open to all community members and other interested parties. Most meetings are held on Zoom. Please see the Community Calendar for more information.
