Theme:
Collaboration

This year will be the first MacAdmins Hackathon, taking place during the conference.  All attendees are welcome to participate!  The theme of this year’s hackathon is collaboration, to bring our community working closer together.  Teams may work on any project of their choosing and will be able to showcase their projects at the end of the conference for all attendees.  

There will be a dedicated area for teams to work on their projects at the Penn Stater; teams may work during breaks, in the evening, as well as during session time for those who desire.

The Hackathon will commence on Monday morning after the workshop welcome, and will conclude on Thursday morning.  On Thursday morning during breakfast, the Haxpo will take place where teams will showcase their projects to the attendees, who will then vote in the different categories.  The winners will be announced during the wrap-up lunch on Thursday.
