Hacka2thon - Ann Arbor's first annual 36 hour hackathon

[eggbrain]

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask them here. This will be our first crack at what we hope to be a bi-annual event for Ann Arbor, and we already have over $2000 in prizes for the event. We hope you guys will come!

Why 36 hours? For the 24-hour hackathons I usually stay up the whole time but 36 plus the surrounding time might be pushing it. I'll try it though :)

I see that the tickets are limited in numbers based on what they bring to the table: dev, design, biz. What was the thinking behind doing it this way? The page mentions that it was to make sure to get enough devs, I don't recall that being a problem at the hackathons I've been to.

(On details page say typo: says that have over $2,00 worth of prizes.)

I see you guys are looking for speakers, I would love to be one. I have spoken at plenty of web events in the past. I think my experience is relevant (VC, designer, developer) and I have a perfect talk for a hackathon (tshirts are the new suits) and would even love to participate if possible!

Man, the last time I had set foot on Michigan's north campus was about 8 years ago. Hope the attendees enjoy themselves, Ann Arbor is one of the best college towns in the country.

I was thinking it was on north campus at the first glance, but actually it's at the new North Quad on central campus. (And another building on nearby Washington St.)

You have dangling "I"s on the homepage. I couldn't find who "I" was.

I'll see if I can tighten up the wording a bit
