Transcript of Making your hackathon matter

Making your hackathon matterCristiano Betta, @cbetta

More than 50 hack days

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 mediocracyhackdaymanifesto.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
