How To Run A Stupid Hackathon

Here's a checklist

DO

* Make a meetup.com event
* Make a facebook event
* Make sure it's out on Noisebridge social media
* See if someone is available to help record the demos (For Stupid Hackathon 4 we had the amazing Jeremy Rollinson do a live stream for Noisebridge YouTube)
* Tell people what Noisebridge is about at the beginning
* Provide an opportunity for people to share their ideas so that they can form teams
* Make a Google form or similar for participants to submit their projects (and ask if they're OK to have their demo recorded)

NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT REQUIRED

* Outreach to local groups that might be interested. This is the list I (Ruth) use:
** companies that the organizers work at
** noisebridge
** double union
** ladies storm hackathons
** gray area (ask them to share on their mailing list)
** recurse center community
** dorkbot SF
* Volunteer photographer for the demos

DON'T

* Get catered food that people need to pay for, or that much food at all (except coffee, people like coffee). Participants tend to prefer to get their own food.
* Schedule the hackathon at the same time as Godwaffle Noise Pancakes
* Stress about running the hackathon. It's a stupid hackathon

PAST SPONSORS

* Contentful, sponsor of coffee and Saturday dinner for SF SSNONATI Hackathon 6, where Amelia Winger-Bearskin (OG founder of stupid hackathon) is a dev evangelist
* No Starch Press Hacker Grant
