That would be interesting, especially with live share extension for vscode/vs2019. This could actually for for mentoring too.

Oh, that's a cool idea to use live share! You can also stream on twitch or livecode.

The format I saw goes like this:

  • The organizer(s) discovers repositories that needs attention
  • The organizer(s) contacts the owners and asks to reserve few issues (+ mark with a label) for the event
  • The organizer(s) provides instructions for each project - how to setup, what's the issue and how to get started
  • The participants are assigned to issues (singles or pairs)
  • The participants submit PRs
  • Party, beers and happiness 🎉
