Nobody has visibility into all the activities of the IETF.   The way volunteer 
organizations work is that people scratch their own itch, and hopefully it's of 
collective benefit.   If this hackathon is a good idea (as a lot of people seem 
to believe) then it would be great if, now that it's been floated and is going 
to be tried, the next hackathon had more broad involvement of the community.

But the expectation that someone will approach you is kind of absurd.   If you 
want to be involved, approach the people who are already involved.   Don't wait 
for them to approach you.   Of course, you didn't know about this in 
advance--the first I heard of it was less than a week ago.   But now you know, 
and there are plans to do this at IETF 93; if you think a general hackathon 
framework at the IETF would be a good place for the yang hackathon work you are 
doing, then you should be involved in planning the IETF 93 hackathon.
