But in 2012 hackathons started going mainstream around the globe, getting a lot of attention because of organizers like Twilio, Sendgrid, AT&T, AngelHack, to name just a few.</p><p>For those that are new to the hackathon space, these events are not intended to perform illegal activities around computer networks.</p><p><strong><em>Software developers widely see hacking as a quick and dirty programmatic solution to a problem.</em></strong></p><p>Hackathons are NOT about gaining access to other networks, which is a definition widely publicized by the media and hollywood. Among the developer community, it is meant to be a positive term that drives innovation among developers.</p><p>While many hackathons are startup focused, we are seeing them emerge in other verticals like healthcare, education, environment and robotics. People are seeing hackathons as temporary venues for innovation and R&D as well as potential environments for talent acquisition.</p><p>This time last year, I was going to 10 hackathons a month, doing research on the space, which resulted in me spending the entire year tracking on hackathons--then organizing the data into a central database, which I publish weekly to <a href='http://hackweekends.com'>hackweekends.com</a>, <a href='http://singly.com'>Singly</a> and other venues.</p><p>Over the holidayz I partnered with Singly to help visualize the hackathons in 2012. Even though some of the data was a little messy, I think we were able to produce a nice overview of the year, when and where hackathons occur as well as some of the top genres of hackathons from mobile to gaming.</p><p><a href='http://blog.singly.com/2013/01/22/hackathons-a-launchpad-for-app-innovation/'></a></p><p>You can also <a href='http://blog.singly.com/2013/01/22/hackathons-a-launchpad-for-app-innovation/'>view the 2012 hackathon infographic over at Singly</a>, but for maximum results, you can be part of this hackathon movement by forking or downloading the <a href='https://github.com/kinlane/hack-weekends-guide'>Hack Weekends Guide</a> and throwing your own hackathon in 2013, and be part of this year’s innovation.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Hackathons for Week of January 14th, 2013</h1> <p>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:00:00 -0800</p> <p>These are the hackathons we tracking on at <a href='http://singly.com' title='Singly'>Singly</a>.

Fix your bugs, polish things up, but perhaps most importantly: Record a video of your hack working in action.</p><p>There are always bugs and sometimes it's hard for the judges to use a hack -- a video allows everyone to understand how the hack works and to see it in action. The video can be simple, it can be a screencast... just record a video and include it on your project details!</p><p><a href='https://www.hackerleague.org/hackathons/foursquare-hackathon-2013/blogposts/50e8fe4f8485e702000000c3' target='_blank'>View the full post on Hacker League</a></p><p>Follow us on Twitter <a href='https://twitter.com/hackerleague'>@HackerLeague</a>.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Open Sourcing Hack Weekends Using Github</h1> <p>Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:00:00 -0800</p> <p><a href='http://hackweekends.com/index.html' target='_blank'></a></p><p>I’ve been maintaining a calendar of hackathons for all of 2012. Originally it was just a section off of <a href='http://apievangelist.com' title='API Evangelist'>API Evangelist</a>, but eventually the site needed to be its own project. Up until now its just been a blog and calendar of events I curate from Eventbrite, Twitter, Google, Eventful and event organizers.</p><p>I spend about 8-12 hours a week curating the events and stories for blog posts, and with the increase in the number hackathons over 2012, so does the time I need to maintain. I was adding an API so other users can add to calendar or event guest post, then I decided I would like to also have databases of hackathon organizers, sponsors, vendors, venues and other key building blocks of hackathons.</p><p>My goal is to create an information hub for the hackathon community. But an “open API” didn’t seem like enough. I wanted everything about it to be open and accessible, as well as community owned. I decided to publish <a href='http://hackweekends.com/index.html' title='Hack Weekends'>Hack Weekends on Github</a> and run it like an open source project.</p><p>I launched the site using <a href='http://pages.github.com/' title='Github Pages'>Github Pages</a> with <a href='https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll' title='Jekyll'>Jekyll</a>. These run the pages and blog for Hack Weekends. But, I needed something to run the calendar, and other systems. I wanted them to be simple--I went with <a href='http://mustache.github.com/'>Mustache Templates</a> + JSON stores.</p><p>The implementation isn't perfect. I had problems getting search and sort tools to work, so I scaled back to a minimal viable implementation. I got the following areas up:</p><ul class='mainlist'> <li><strong>Hackathon Calendar </strong>- Listing of hackathons global, sorted by city (for now)</li> <li><strong>Cities Hackathon Directory</strong> - Breakdown of hackathons by cities</li> <li><strong>Hack Weekends Blog</strong> - Blog running on Jekyll, which I edit using prose.io</li> <li><strong>Hack Weekends News </strong>- Curated, relevant hackathon links from my pinboard</li> </ul><p>I will get all the bells and whistles in there soon. Before that, I’m working on a basic Github template for planning and executing a basic hackathon. I would like to see hackathon organizers using a common, open approach to planning and delivering hackathons around the globe. I’m hoping it will work in conjunction with an open approach to Hack Weekends and other hackathon community sites.</p><p>Hack Weekends is a work in progress. I went ahead and made it live, as its about 85% of what I had on the previous version. Having it running as a completely client-side and static site on Github will force me to learn to approaches to manage my content and data in a way that is open and machine readable by default. </p><p>Feel free to fork <a href='https://github.com/kinlane/hack-weekends'>Hack Weekends</a> and make contributions. You can add blog posts, news or calendar events.

I decided to reach out to Microsoft and see if I can get more information on what they are trying to accomplish, and see what their perspective is on hackathons.</p> <p>After talking to several people I was directed to a gentleman by the name of Warren Wilbee (<a href='https://twitter.com/wwilbee' target='_blank'>@wwilbee</a>), Director of ISV Evangelism at <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx'>Microsoft</a>. Wilbee is a passionate evangelist, one that isn't just externally evangelizing, he is actively working to evolve internal culture and options about the value of hackathons at Microsoft. When I got on the phone with him, he said the reason I was directed to him is because he had recently circulated an internal memo regarding the makeup and value of hackathons.</p> <p>He feels strong that hackathons are very useful, you get the opportunity to get X number of people into a room, doing exactly what you want--delivering a very direct result. "Hackathons are purpose built", when you put on a hackathon for developers you get to define exactly what you, sending the desired message your company wants developers to receive, says Wilbee. By contrast, sponsoring a hackathon is a very different exercise and value proposition--proceed with caution. The hackathon organizer gets to define the purpose and drive the outcomes. The sponsor will not have access to this value, potentially excluding you from all the marketing or social "halo" produced at the event. Sometimes there are opportunities to offer a prize that will be in-line with the organizers purpose, but just flashing your logo will not deliver much value to your company.</p> <p><a href='http://www.devcamps.ms/'></a></p> <p>When you do put on a hackathon, Wilbee is passionate about it being a "participatory event". Get your people to come and participate, don't just require them to show up, make it part of their responsibility to be involved. There is a social and community aspect to hackathons, "the shared experience of being in a room at 3am, committed to a common goal is a galvanizing, bonding experience." This is something you get by just showing up for a short period of time or just sponsoring an event.</p> <p>In Wilbee’s opinion APIs and software platforms are here to stay, and hackathons do a great job educating people about the value they deliver. We will definitely see more organized efforts around these types of events, across many business sectors, in the future.</p><h3>Tags:</h3>Hackathons, Microsoft, Windows 8</div> </article> <article> <h1>Hackathons for Week of October 8th, 2012</h1> <p>Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:00:00 -0700</p> <div><i><span class='small'>by</span> <a href='https://plus.google.com/106460238807821851374' rel='author'>Kin Lane</a><span class='small'>on</span> <span class='post-date'>10-08-2012</span></i><p>These are the hackathons I'm tracking on at <a href='/' target='_blank'>Hack Weekends</a>.
