My talk from API Days Berlin

Transcript of Hackathons: Best Practices From experience

From experienceCristiano Betta, @cbetta

More than 50 hack days

Organised more than 15 hack days

PayPal ran 11 hack days last year

I’ve had enough of pizza

And (non german) beer

A manifesto to stop the mediocracyhackdaymanifesto.com

Communication is king

Your API is your business card

Your demo is your foot in the door

A hacker is not a recruit

A hack is not an app

Your office is the best sponsorship

Celebrate the effort

Communication is king

Add some class

Why at PayPal?
