[16:06:12] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> Those are excellent reasons to prefer in-person hackathons *when they are possible*.
[16:06:57] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <TimidRobot> when in-person hackathons are not possible, online hackathons are way more effective than no hackathons at all
[16:12:58] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Nicolas> +1 (re @TimidRobot: when in-person hackathons are not possible, online hackathons are way more effective than no hackathons at all)
[18:02:32] <bd808>	 Some early Wikimedia hackathons were titled as "Hack-a-ton". I think the new social distancing hackathons could be "Hack-at-home" :)
[18:03:57] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <pavithraes> I like this name! (re @wmtelegram_bot: [irc] <bd808> Some early Wikimedia hackathons were titled as "Hack-a-ton". I think the new social distancing hackathons could be "Hack-at-home" :))
[18:15:56] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Jan_ainali> I like it too! 
[18:15:57] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <Jan_ainali> I am thinking, since the table talk at a hackathon is valuable, perhaps a Mumble group could represent the table? Video might not be needed. And then we we could do such groups sequentially over many days rather than in parallel for a short time, so that you don't have to miss a topic just because you work on something else too.
[18:18:50] <wm-bridgebot>	 [telegram] <pharosofalexandria> I like it as well. Maybe audiovisual should be reserved for things like proposal pitching and showcases. (re @Jan_ainali: I like it too!
