I will send a proposal for the new format of the hackathon
We are prototyping a new hackathon format, designed for people running great projects who are stretched thin for time and money, and could use some help from their peers. The hackathon happens just the week before the Living on the Edge (LOTE4) event.
Wait to receive your ticket! Community members at Edgeryders will check how many tasks you’ve performed and it they add up to the value of a ticket, they’ll make sure to send it to you.
As I am gonna take part in hackaton, I would love to use the time effectively with you! I would be glad if I can help you guys with any of your projects or ideas with my strong start-up-background experience from several projects. Just write me email, arrange a skype or meet me in Matera and we can talk about your business plans, concepts, social networks or pitching! I would be happy to be of help!
Hi Robert, I guess where you’d like to put in development time is up to you. If I’m not mistaken, currently in the Hackathon the only track seemingly needing coding is the Edgeryders website-related… you can of course suggest another one, or ask the guys and they can give you a heads up on what other ideas are in the pipeline, if any.
Thank you for the offer to help out! I guess it will get the best visibility and most interest by making an actual hackathon track out of it (and if not, it’s a complete no-issue to cancel a hackathon track again).
So you’d just think a bit about how to package the expertise you can offer into something that is project-like work for a hackathon (… my first shot would be “collaborative startup concept development”, but I’m sure there are better ways to put it, or more specific ways about the Commons etc.). Works?
