Anyone from India (bangalore/cochin) interested in organizing such a hacakthon?
likewise: I'm in Sarajevo, and would love to be involved.
Anybody else nearby? [or even not-so-nearby: Zagreb? Vienna? Belgrade?]
I think there's one happening in NITC soon.
NITC - NIT Calicut I hope.. :D can the public participate.. if the time is convenient.. I will join..
I wish I wasn't a terrible coder, I would love to help.
I can't wait to see what people come up with.
RIP.
That doesn't matter. There are tons of things you could do depending on the goal of the hackathon. If there is one nearby to you I'm sure you can help.
Bad coders become good coders by coding. Don't wait. Act.
Absolutely. When I was first starting out, I made so many poor design and implementation choices. I like to think I've improved tremendously since then, and I've only done so by putting in thousands upon thousands of hours of programming.
Details about the Boston hackathon mentioned in the thread (supposedly around 01/26), please.
Maybe a global Internet-based hackathon? It seems that we are split among the whole World.
Yep, shoot an email to science-liberation-front+subscribe@googlegroups.com and you'll get a feed of interesting hacks and projects. Hopefully this will catalyze some scrapers during the hackathons.
