Subject: 3 weeks to the hackathon - have you picked your project?

The Community over Code Glasgow hackathon is just 3 weeks away
(Oct 11-14)! 25+ Apache projects are ready with curated task lists
and mentors on hand.

If you haven't already:
1. Browse the projects: https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/hackathon.html
2. Pick one (or two!) that interest you
3. Check out their "getting started" links
4. Show up ready to hack

No advance preparation required - but if you want a head start,
most projects list their dev environment setup instructions on their
hackathon page.

NOTE TO VOLUNTEERS: This is a starting point - please personalize it!
Add your own voice, mention specific things about your project that
would excite newcomers, and adjust the tone to match your community.
The best outreach feels like it comes from a real person, not a template.
