Would you be at all interested in one-off writing?

I'm not looking to advance my writing career, but I am competing in Baltimore's "Startup Weekend" event next week, and I'd love to share my experiences from that, as someone who's never attended anything like it.

That would be awesome! There's no need to be a regular contributor. I've changed the format of the page, so you can simply submit there and I'll help you get it posted with all of the appropriate credit, links and such. Good luck at the Startup Weekend too!

We're kind of abusing the format, in that it's me and two other guys bringing an idea to work on as a ready-made team. We haven't started any work, but we've given it lots of thought.

I'm anticipating an article titled somethingn like "How we cheated at StartupWeekend (and still lost)" or something like that.

I'd be interested to find out how many people go to startup weekend with pre-determined teams and use the weekend as a way to jump-start their project.

From the conversations I've had with people in the know, I'm the odd duck. This is what I get for planning the entire Startup Weekend before having any idea of what it's actually supposed to be about.
