[nycbug-talk] On Hackathons

[James E Keenan]

At tonight's NYCBUG, I spoke of some experiences participating in,  
and organizing hackathons within the Perl and Parrot communities.   
Some of our experiences may be applicable to the organizing of barcamps.

Here's a link to a tarball of an HTML-slideshow that was part of a  
lightning talk I gave at YAPC::NA::2007 in Houston:  How to Get the  
Most Out of a Hackathon.

Here is a Perl Foundation page that talks about past hackathons:
