Making your hackathon matter Cristiano Betta, @cbetta
More than 50 hack days
None
Organised more than 15 hack days
PayPal ran 11 hack days last year
Axes!
I’ve had enough of pizza
And (non german) beer
A manifesto to stop the mediocracy hackdaymanifesto.com
Communication is king
An API is a business card
A hacker is not a recruit
A hack is not an app
Your office is a better sponsorship
Celebrate the effort
Run your own or sponsor?
Why at PayPal?
Don’t push it
Add some class
We best learn in silence
A happy developer is the best evangelist
Track and measure
