[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Useful resource about organizing future OLPC / Sugar hackathons

[Caryl Bigenho]

Good stuff, but really the same-old, same old Plan Ahead!

And, I might add one thing... find ways to make sure you reach those who might need a little extra encouragement to get them to attend... women and people of color. Check the photos of their otherwise well attended event to see what I mean.
It is nice to have a framework to start with. Thanks Christoph!  And, sorry for the small soap-box rant.

Hi all,
I just stumbled across an article called "Hosting Hackathons: The Organizer's Checklist" (http://alexeymk.com/hosting-hackathons-the-organizers-checklist) and it contains some great information which could be very helpful for the organization of future OLPC / Sugar related events.

Please also note the first article in that series which focuses on the team required for setting up such events: http://alexeymk.com/hosting-hackathons-the-team

Cheers,Christoph
