## TODO list

- [ ] Infrastructure/logistics:
- [ ] Determine exact location (venue)
- [ ] Catering & food
- [ ] Guidelines for booking (hotel, travel) and reimbursement
- [ ] Admin:
- [ ] Set-up gh-pages with event's agenda and summary
- [x] Track registrations, share necessary attendee data across organizers.
- [ ] More clearly define projects:
- [ ] Objectives for the hackathon (important: measurable!)
- [ ] Link to a set (release, project, etc.) of issues on GitHub (following objectives)

## Ideas to discuss
- [ ] Introduce some "roundtable" track, defining topics, so that we can openly discuss about the future of NiPreps (at micro-/mid-/big-picture).
