@ScribeOfGoD you have it good. I must go across an ocean and a half continent to go there.
-
@dfox gotta get you guys involved on best...I mean West coast
-
@stop and you still probably have a better chance of going than me :P :'(
-
@ScribeOfGoD you on the west coast?
-
@Treighton Yepp
-
@ScribeOfGoD I knew I liked you.
-
@Koolstr but it's not really work. More like, having fun lol
-
@ScribeOfGoD It doesn't work like that lol. Sabbath prohibitions extend well beyond actual work. I can't actively use electricity at all so a hackathon is about as much a nono as can be :(
-
Across the country, try across the world.. :(
@ScribeOfGoD -
@dfox could you please make a online hackathon which runs over git and skype? That would be awesome for german me
-
Hey everyone, thanks a bunch for all the feedback!
We'll also be posting this as a news item so everyone should see it :)
We are well-aware that many people who would love to participate aren't able to because of where they live, and we are actively working on a virtual hackathon so all devRant users throughout the world can participate. There will be more news on that after this first hackathon, and if it's successful, we'll probably announce the world-wide hackathon shortly after.
@Koolstr that's a good question and I'll get back to you on that. The timing is unfortunate but I think for a multi-day hackathon that's the only way it can really work. But I'll see what they say about delayed start/one day participation. -
@yo-adrian hahahahaha smh this is best competition rule
-
@kophygiddie lol. Team drinking could be good too. Each team member has to take on a module for an app. All teams have to create the same app. My rules apply to each team member.
Damn, I feel like finding sponsors for this type of coding event. I want to make this happen. Lol -
@Kimmax you don't like drinking either?
-
@billgates @dfox any place where we can find those? :)
-
@dfox was there actually ever a follow up post about this? or about the virtual hackathon?
We're excited to announce the first devRant-sponsored hackathon! It features everything we could have dreamed of in a hackathon: huge prizes ($10k to first place and others), an awesome beer-themed dev competition from lead sponsor Anheuser-Busch, lots of free beer, and an awesome setting at Alley in Chelsea NYC (devRant's hometown, we'll be there!)
It's taking place right here in NYC from March 25-26 and @trogus and I will be there and we really hope we can hang out with members of the devRant community who are participating. devRant is an official partner of the hackathon and we're very excited about the competition itself. There are two challenges teams can pick from: "Internet of Things" (Raspberry Pi’s, Arduinos, etc.) and "Data Insights" - both with the goal of finding creative solutions/innovations to help people drink more beer!
Tim and I look forward to hopefully seeing many of you there. Full details and registration here: https://hacktheworld.beer/NYCHackat...
Please let us know if you have any questions and let's hack some beer!
P.S. the hackathon is 21 years and older only because of the beer theme
