This is purely non-competitive; we prefer cooperation and teamwork (see
Hackathon Format).
The linked webpage talks about the organizers selecting the “best mix
and match of skills, backgrounds and experieces.[sic]” Is this intended
to make participants feel as though they are applying for a position at
the Hackathon? This concept is new to me.
This format has been done by RIPE NCC many times before and it's a
selection process because of limited amount of seats and to be as
inclusive/diverse as possible, for example "not more than two people
from the same organisation".
Hackathons come in many shapes and sizes, but the only ones I’ve been to
were largely unstructured and emphasized collaboration over competition
and seclectivity. Maybe put some more words on the linked page below
describing what participants can expect.
Have you looked at the Netnod link?
There like 1700 words describing everything about the hackathon, what do
expect before, during and after the event :)
Cheers,
Jerry
