**Concluding Remarks** - Participation 38 (18 @ Canberra, 14 @ Hobart, 6 @ Sydney) šŸŽ‰ - Already 16 Pull Requests related to the Hackathon v2.0 and _a bunch more_ to come! Including It was great! Some things worked well! Some things we can do better. Iā€™ll put below some feedback we got about what worked and what could be done better. Please feel free to add!

_What could have been better_ 1. We pick **one** channel of communication. 2. We have a ~~google doc~~ forum thread or something that includes a summary of resources for those who are novice (e.g., repository urls, links to important posts related to the hackathon, links to beginnerā€™s/contributorā€™s guide, etc.) 3. We start out with a **very** short introduction (so that people who already know what to do can get started) and then jump straight into the tutorials. (Those who were new most probably got lost in the first 30 mins discussing the tasks etc). 4. Ensure that people are assigned tasks via the hackathon project to avoid having two people working on the same task without them knowing about it. 5. Ensure that there is a _dedicated_ helper floating around at each location. 6. Some hackathon sites didnā€™t have cake and they were jealous of others who did have. 7. Any dress up themes should be announced earlier to allow people to prepare costumes accordingly. 8. ā€¦ (please email me/msg me/ or reply to this thread and add more!) ---

An unexpected outcome from @angus-g [noticing](https://github.com/COSIMA/cosima-recipes/pull/226#issuecomment-1403097553) and [reporting a bug](https://github.com/xarray-contrib/cf-xarray/issues/396) in `cf_xarray` as a result of the hackathon: Deepak Cherian asked if we could add a link to the model agnostic tutorial in the [`cf_xarray` documentation](https://cf-xarray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). This is a great demonstration of the benefits of being active participants in the open-source community. COSIMA has a great tool to make better software, but also gets some recognition and promotion, `cf_xarray` gets better documentation with more examples for users and a bug report they can fix. Win-win all round. [Previous page](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cosima-hackathon-v2-0-tuesday-january-24th-2023/307.md?page=2)
