What could have been better
- We pick one channel of communication.
- We have a
google docforum thread or something that includes a summary of resources for those who are novice (e.g., repository urls, links to important posts related to the hackathon, links to beginner’s/contributor’s guide, etc.) - We start out with a very short introduction (so that people who already know what to do can get started) and then jump straight into the tutorials. (Those who were new most probably got lost in the first 30 mins discussing the tasks etc).
- Ensure that people are assigned tasks via the hackathon project to avoid having two people working on the same task without them knowing about it.
- Ensure that there is a dedicated helper floating around at each location.
- Some hackathon sites didn’t have cake and they were jealous of others who did have.
- Any dress up themes should be announced earlier to allow people to prepare costumes accordingly.
