Dynamic of the Hackathon

[homotopical]

I think depending on sizes, say 15-25 people, we should come up with groups to work in some way.

I got a straightforward list

• Ask, don’t patronize nor foresee any expectations of what people want to built
• Eg, some developers won’t necessarily be interested in Catalonian independence.
• One mentor per group depending on size of crowd, or two.
• Technology can convince people; better to have conversations about them than to jump right next to prototype.
• We can have more conversations during tapas. Informality is expected in a Hackathon. Things get produced anywhere.
• It’s important to distribute leadership and authority.
• Eg. Don’t let everyone just go to Arthur for assistance, inspiration, or general talking.

For the Barcelona Hackathon there's gonna be some centrality to operations due to language, so I think Eric, Dayzee (?), and me can handle some of the translation issues.

What does everyone think?
