The Hacks

  • This will be a great run for the big hackathon that we are working on for next November time frame!

Why this would be useful

  • Learn about parts of the codebase that we rarely touch
  • Work with people we don't get to normally
  • Want to get something done outside of the sprint
  • Brainstorming and prototyping new features

The Schedule

  1. Oct 10, 2013: hack
  2. Oct 11, 2013: demo (3:30-5pm) (Google Hangout)
