Hackathon Planning In Less Than 10 Steps

It's been about a month since?Photo Hack Day 2, and I've recovered sufficiently from my hackathon hangover ? a very legitimate ailment, though less literal than a SXSW one ??to put some coherent thoughts together. A number of people have reached out, asking for tips, thoughts, and advice on throwing hackathons; only now that the second one is under my proverbial belt do I feel?slightly?more qualified to speak on the subject. There?s so much involved in terms of planning that I can?t adequately address the important points in a single post. The emphasis of this article is the requisite planning, whereas the follow-up will focus on best practices for actual execution of demos, which are the most challenging and stressful element of hackathons.
