Let's focus on APIs if we can, but completely understand if we want to focus on other things.
Demo day is Friday the 13th, hopefully the demos aren't too scary! Extra points for incorporating the theme into your demos!
Jun 12, 2014: hack (6:00pm - Dinner) Jun 13, 2014: demo (3:00-4:30pm) (Google Hangout, Drinks and Snacks!)
