Our road ahead Given our 1st success Nokia San Diego management already expressed the wish to host Hackathons on a quarterly basis!
To build the best ecosystem together with
our developer friends
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL • Nokia San Diego for all the support!
• Microsoft developer evangelists in Los Angeles area! • Daniel Egan (www.twitter.com/danielegan) • Alice Pang (www.twitter.com/alicerp)

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL Improvement Ideas • Show the demos from mobile via screencaster
(Help needed from MS - Daniel?) • Show a motivational video at the beginning • Open registration to double the amount of people
we can host (50% drop rate Daniel mentioned was very precise!)
• Feedback from developers: avoid having two hackathons on the same date
• Talk about cloud (Azure) • More senior developers and technical experts from
MS to go around the room and answer technical questions (Daniel and Alice)
• Use a forum to continue the discussions even after the hackathon within the group and facilitate networking (Facebook? Linkedin? http://www.grouptweet.com/?)
From AT&T Developer Programs • Lightning Talks: Less Talk, More Code • 6+ hours of coding • Sponsor provided sample code base to work from • Encourage interaction and mingling throughout the
day through stronger Twitter integration into the event (Maybe use http://www.grouptweet.com/)
• 15 minute pitch session with Twitter hashtag in the morning to share ideas
• Provide 10 page auto forwarding powerpoints to prevent overtime pitches.
