BSDCan Devsummit has a room available for a Hackathon.  If you or anybody
else wants
to add work items to the Hackathon that you are interested in working on,
please add it to
the wiki page:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/action/login/201506DevSummit#Hackathon_Topics

It's OK to add work items there, but please only add them to the wiki page
unless you are confident that you will show up to the hackathon and at
least try to work on the item. :)

Many thanks to the Devsummit organizers for providing a room for the
Hackathon.
