Hey!
Can this be made remote? It'd help us non Americans/American non Californians to apply.
From the application page :-
Important note: This is an application, not a signup form. We have an application instead of a first-come, first-served signup because it helps guarantee a diverse group of participants and that matters a lot to us.
It seems counter intuitive to base this in Mountain View if you care about diversity. Non American Hackers, Americans who aren't in California get disqualified immediately.
- scientaster2 7y ago+1 to remote! As an east coaster, I've participated in many hackathons in person and I can vouch that none have actually benefited from colocation. Since teams are competing, there is naturally no incentive to associate with peers outside your direct team - which you can do plenty well remotely.
- craigcannon 7y agoThanks for the input. We're going to keep it in CA this time but will start thinking about remote hackathons for future events!
