Builder Day

When is it?

October 12th

What is it?

Builder Day is our version of a hackathon alternative. Hackathons are fun ways to practice new technologies and make a lot of progress in a short amount of time. However, submissions tend to skew towards being product ideas, most of which will never actually be turned into a real product.

Instead, we’re doing Builder Day. Participating bitcoin FOSS projects will run programming at their own tables. As a participant, you get to pick your favorite FOSS project to hang out with and learn from.

Ok, the first of many updates for #TABConf2022. In Atlanta, we like to keep things fresh. That means we're trying something new this year. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/VY7GFtWjib

What can I expect?

Attendees can expect to learn a lot!

• what is the project
• why is it important
• how does it benefit bitcoin
• what are some new and existing tools
• how can you setup a dev environment to leverage the tools
• how can you use those tools to build a new app/service
• how to contribute for the first time to an open-source project

Above all else, Builder Day attendees can get all of their questions answered about their favorite projects straight from the source!
