Hackfest: Pasadena, California
Description
A hackfest! We will work on Inkscape bugs, new features, and packaging as well as website issues; in fact anything that can benefit from developers and users being physically in the same space. The hackfest will take place March 4th through March 6th, which is before the 2019 Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) which takes place from March 7th through 10th.
Pasadena
Pasadena is a city 16 km to the northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Pasadena can be reached from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by bus/metro in about an hour.
- An easy way to get there is take the FlyLAX bus to the downtown rail station and then take the Gold line to Pasadena

Venue
The hackfest will take place at Pasadena City College. From the college:
The Creveling Lounge has been reserved in the name of your organization for the three-day event, requested tables and chairs. The doors to The Creveling Lounge will be open thirty minutes prior to start-time for the event; and room will remain available to your group for thirty minutes after requested end-time. The thirty-minute time period prior to and after start/end times for the event allows you to set up the room as needed prior to actual time for event to start – with time at the end of each day to gather belongings and check to ensure all is in order prior to leaving the reserved room.
