Open Stack

Dear Taiwan Hackathon Friends,

We are noticing in the registration for the Hackathon that many people are
excited about participating, but they don't yet have a team 😶

We can help!

I'd like to suggest that we host some pre-event social activities to
encourage those without (and with) a team to come along to meet new team
members:

   - 15th March Tuesday night: Workshop (My1stApp Workshop) + Team
   Socialising (@The Three Lions)
   - 16th March Wednesday night: Training (Smart Tourism API Training) +
   Team Socialising (@Gaucho)
   - 17th March Thursday night: Learning Activity (??<byYou>??) + Team
   Socialising (@Popeye)

Can you help work with me and the community to organise the above informal
fun events?

--> Do you have a training or workshop (or something cool you'd like to
show on Thursday night, or any of the nights).  Something you can teach
your fellow hackers?

--> Do you know of any sponsors who will come along and buy some drinks and
meet new innovative cloud application talent?

--> Do you know someone who would like to participate in the Hackathon but
doesn't have a team yet?!

Greatly appreciated for anyone willing to 🙋 help!

Please reply and help me organise these fun evenings of learning and
socialising!

Can't wait, this time next week all the fun is going to begin 🍻

Kind Regards,

Flanders
