| 1 | +# Hacking at OHW22 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## How will the projects be conducted? |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +We have put together a [few questions](https://github.com/oceanhackweek/discussions/discussions/categories/ohw22-project-planning) that can help you propose a project in [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/oceanhackweek/discussions/discussions/categories/ohw22-project-planning). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +On Monday August 15th we will have a brief “project setup” session for an overview of all projects already proposed up to that point, and give another opportunity to pitch new ideas that may be formed throughout the day. Project proposals must be submitted by the end of this day (Day 1). Each satellite may have its own, specific deadline time, so please connect with your satellite or the global event for details. |

| 9 | +## Tips for getting started |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +* Potentially choose something that you've been interested but haven't had the time or skills to do before, or something you can continue to work on post OceanHackWeek! |
| 12 | +* Hacking is a community activity! It's okay to choose projects that you can't accomplish alone as other people will be there to help you, both at OceanHackWeek and outside of it! |
| 13 | +* Help your group member: you might be the person they need to solve their problem, and vice versa. |
| 14 | +* When discussing, pitch your explanation to the least experienced hacker in the group, and you'll end up better understanding what you're trying to do, or need to revise your idea. |
| 15 | +* You can mix programming languages as needed in order to get started, but do check in with your project mentors and group members to make sure your efforts are straightforward to be absorbed into the project. |

| 18 | +<!-- * Start with ideas that are close to home: your research, a project for your company, something you have always been interested in. --> |
| 19 | +<!-- * Start with one simple idea first, and when it is built add complexity afterwards. --> |
| 20 | +<!-- * Help your neighbor: you might be the person they need to solve their problem, and vice versa. --> |

| 28 | +<!-- ## How will the projects be conducted? |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | +* On day 1 we will facilitate the sharing of ideas and formation of people into small teams (2-5 people) |
| 31 | +* Once formed, each team will be guided through exercises to help narrow in on a set of tasks that are doable within the 5 days. A brief project outline will be posted to GitHub, following the "Project Guidelines" below. |

|
| 34 | +## What can I do to prepare in advance? |
| 35 | +
|
| 36 | +* If you have a project idea already brewing, we encourage you to share that with the team on the #project channel on Slack. We can add additional channels as the project ideas develop. |
| 37 | +* Feel free to explore various projects and initiate conversations. The goal is to gather as much information as you can to inform your decision about which team to join when we meet in person. |
| 38 | +* Contact an Oceanhackweek organizer if you would like assistance in assessing whether a project is well-scoped, or if you need help with a particular dataset. |
