still had meetings, ended up working more hours than normal
worked too much to achieve the proposed goals (a single week is not enough!) +1+1
had emergencies to deal with which made it hard to accomplish goals +1+1+1+1
hard to onboard people from the outside on some projects +1
others worked in their hack project on regular work which is relevant to my day-to-day work as well and I struggled to keep an eye on that work while trying to focus on my hackweek work (and emergencies...) +1
*********************** What could we try to do differently? ***********************************************************************************************************
schedule it so it's not the last week of the quarter +1+1+1+1
publicize it more outside of mailing lists to bring in more outside/new contributors
maybe have less latency between hackweek proposals getting submitted and posted to the "schedule"?
