hackathons: best practices from experience
DESCRIPTION
My talk from API Days BerlinTRANSCRIPT
From experienceCristiano Betta, @cbetta
More than 50 hack days
Organised more than 15 hack days
PayPal ran 11 hack days last year
I’ve had enough of pizza
And (non german) beer
A manifesto to stop the mediocracyhackdaymanifesto.com
Communication is king
Your API is your business card
Your demo is your foot in the door
A hacker is not a recruit
A hack is not an app
Your office is the best sponsorship
Celebrate the effort
Communication is king
Add some class
Why at PayPal?
