Want to add - all the teams did a remarkable job. There really are no winners or losers - any one of these apps can have significant impact on our planet. We hope many of them do.

I really enjoyed the talks - thanks Dan for setting them all up and running them!

looks fantastic. every time we run our hack4good events i'm amazed by both what gets done in 48 hours and what relationships get built that last a lifetime. hack climate change next with us here: http://bit.ly/hack4good06

well this just popped across my desk... nice. pretty similar to our Geeklist hackathon/projects/ideas app rolling out of our hackathon app at (http://geekli.st/hackathon) only it is all free. we don't take any cut. we provide all the infrastructure. Apps that get built that gain traction our Geeklist Labs will help get funded - if they want. No contracts, no fees for the app. 100% open source collaboration for ideas and projects. Spurring innovation globally at Geeklist. disclosure: I founded Geeklist. - r - oh and hack4good (http://hack4good.geekli.st)

Uber driver apparently pulled them out safely. It's a shame some countries take change so violently. I love Paris and France, I also use Uber there... this is terrible. SO glad Kat and Renaud made it home safely afterwards.

great point avilay. thank you for helping clarify the difference between the two PM's. product vs project. i think this is an important differentiation and one which, when clarified, could help more developers excel in their careers without losing their coding edge.

I see many points about not wanting to manage being mentioned, but if you read into it more you'll find Gayle is suggesting this is about developers who want to drive product. Product Management is much more than just management roles and I know many coders who do product management while maintaining their coding space. It's not for everyone, but Product Management is not project management.

Congrats team Domains4good! So proud you gave birth to it at the Geeklist #hack4good 0.2 in Sam Francisco this weekend! ^5 - the Geeklist team

here's a link to what was created in the past hack4good http://bit.ly/16DiSGP

The goal is to make the world better through hacking together with people from around the world. The guidelines of what 'tools' are open as we don't want to limit solutions to problems. The one guideline that is strict is that this is not a "build a business" hackathon. While that could be an outcome, judging will be based on solving real world problems for social good. (No, that means hacking a beer pong game to make parties better does not count) - Thanks so much for commenting!

I think you'll find this response by @gayle to be spot on. SORRY, FOLKS: GOOGLE HASN’T CHANGED THEIR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS BY GAYLE MCDOWELL, EX-GOOGLE ENGINEER & HIRING COMMITTEE MEMBER http://blog.geekli.st/post/53477786490/sorry-folks-google-ha...

It's been great at http://geekli.st and we run a full node stack. It is true error handling is an issue sometimes, but that's over shadowed by the quality of engineers looking to hack in node. Most common reason I hear for someone leaving a company... "I wanted the opportunity to hack in node at work" - not once, twice but dozens of times. In an age where finding top notch teams to build your stack is really hard, what code base you use is really important to attracting top talent.

We're a full node stack at http://geeklist.com One thing not being mentioned that I'd like to share is the extremely supportive and extraordinarily brilliant community of node.js enthusiasts. This has an intrinsic value that we could never replicate with any other code base. Around the world thousands upon thousands are excited to learn and hack in node. Guys like @mikeal @izs @indutny @dscape @dshaw @substack and so many other great developers in the node community jump in to help everyone else all the time. (Just try reaching out to any of them on twitter and you'll be amazed by the support. Yes we did finally just move up to 0.8.2.3 but running 0.10 caused some hiccups we just dont have the bandwidth to attend to right now so we're waiting just a tad longer. In sum node is great and you'll find developers absolutely love hacking in it which means they are enjoying working on your project/business... Which is priceless.

fixing that is on the list of immediate to dos for our new CTO. ;)

Really nice work! Node.js you kill it real-time!

for now we only are open to twitter users.

happy holidays :)
