The ISV-WG reviewed the draft Hackathon application form today at goo.gl/08grC6, and has this feedback:

Modify "How many participants do you expect?", to "How many participants or teams of n people can you support (with space, equipment, etc.)?".
Add "Do you have the infrastructure to support the Hackathon or will you need assistance?"
Add "What SDKs/tools do you plan to make available to participants?"
Add a link to a planning checklist to "As an organization, do you have the necessary installations, equipment and base knowledge to run an OpenStack Hackathon?", so they have a better idea of what will be required.
Thanks for the opportunity to review and provide feedback!

> goo.gl/08grC6 <-- I would encourage feedback on this form by all WGs (esp

>
> >From my personal PoV there three key characteristics of a successful
> hackathon and three key risks, I list them below and would suggest that
> they be part of the discussion around the application process prior to a
> hackathon being approved by the CloudAppHack-WG:
>
> Hackathon Success Criteria:
>
> - (1) As much, if not more effort put into organising pre-training events
> than the main hackathon event days themselves. The pre-trainings will
> result in teams ready to compete, i.e. you wouldn't expect to show up to a
> marathon and win without training.
> - (2) a minimum of 10+ people who can play the role of event organisers
> (see list of roles below or at this repo:
> https://github.com/DFFlanders/CloudAppHack), i.e. a hackathon is a much
> more involved and complex event than any other community run event which
> must be *team organised*.
> - (3) Collaboration with the Foundation is the best way to assure global
> reach and awareness. These event can be so much larger than the some of
> their parts if we collaborate. As Guadalajara can attest, the Foundation
> is very light touch and primarily there to assure amplification of your
> events achievements.
>
> Hackathon Risk Criteria:
>
> - (i) a working operational cloud ready a month in advance and used during
> all pre-trainings to assure its resilience and redundancy. A back-up cloud
> should also be ready as the event will fail if the cloud fails.
> - (ii) Multi-company/community participation. Many OpenStack days are run
> by one company which does not uphold our value for open community [1].
> Hackathons should above all else, bring multiple companies/communities
> together to compete in the open - it is this open competition of a
> hackathon which makes us better as an OpenSource community IMHO.
> - (iii) sponsorship which is appropriate and practical for the communities
> growth, i.e. sending 1 or 2 teams to the summit and/or other OpenStack
> community events is not a cheap endeavour but is the best way to assure our
> community is creating a community domino affect. The utilisation of the
> CloudAppHack-WG as the central coordinator of sponsorship opportunities
> will assure resources are spread evenly and fairly without burning out our
> sponsors support.
>
> All the above my own personal PoV, not necessarily shared by the Foundation.
> Greatly appreciated for anyone wiling to represent these points during the
> call this Thursday.
