Hi Andrew,

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 :)
This is my bad. I was only reading the RIPE site. My questions are
directly answered on the Netnod link.
Thanks again.
