Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
Every event can be a place for Hackathon. There are Hackathons as a
side events on school, scientific and education events, on fairs...
even as a standalone events.<br>
Crucial questions are:<br>
1. Can we gather programmers on this Hackathon?<br>
It's rather easy to organize Hackathon on IETF meetings... but on
ICANN meeting? Don't expect to find programmers among participants
of ICANN meetings. We could have some locals, but we need to invest
money to bring them there (travel and accommodation support at
least). How much is that, roughly? <br>
2. If we do so, Hackathon will be side event and first of this kind
on ICANN meetings. This fact can trigger huge interest among ICANN
participants, if we do good work with PR (especially announcing
event). Let say - we can handle that well. But - we better have
something useful as a result of this Hackathon (good apps or
whatever), or it will be complete fiasco. Empty story in PR sense.
And right to left writings in Maroko, this is nice idea. So, we need
GOOOD programers (money), GOOOD PR campaign (money) and GOOOD
results (depends on the money spent on first two things in
sentence). And the real question is> How much money we need for
this and will ICANN this amount of money?<br>
<br>
If they want to pay all that - let's have Hackathon, I am in and
volunteering to help.<br>
(Every problem can be solved with the money. If the problem cannot
be solved with the money, it can be solved with large amount of
money ;) )<br>
<br>
My two cents<br>
