Getting Started

So you want to organise your own do_actiondo_action do_action hackathons are community-organised events that are focussed on using WordPress to give deserving charitable organisations their own online presence. Learn more on doaction.org. event? Great ā€“ welcome on board!

Fortunately for you, the doaction.org website is designed to take a lot of the heavy-lifting off your shoulders, so you can focus on the practical aspects of the event, rather than the manual admin tasks.

We will go over all of this in more detail in the rest of these handbook pages, but the ingredients you need for a successful do_action event are the following:

  • An active local WordPress meetup
  • A venue (and date)
  • A selection of local non-profit organisations
  • Willing participantsĀ from your local community
  • Catering
  • Sponsors

Thatā€™s it!

The rest of these handbook pages deal with the specifics of how all of those things work, so use the links in the menu on the sideĀ and youā€™ll soon be on your way to your first local do_action event.
