A couple of days ago I had this thought: what if someone would take hackathons online? I decided to ask HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2293779) and got some great responses. But even better, an hour later I get that email from a fellow HN reader, SingAlong, expressing his interest to just make it happen. So here we are now, really excited to announce that on March 19th, 2011, there’ll be the first online hackathon to feature live streams of the participants.<p>While we're busy setting everything up you can follow us on Twitter (@hackonday) or sign up on the page for email notifcations: http://www.hackonday.com/<p>Sponsors, Recruiters, Hacker Space Organizers, feel free to hit us proactively on hackline@hackonday.com.
Hmm. Hackerspaces.org has been running global livestreamed hackathons monthly for over a year now:<p><a href="http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Synchronous_Hackathon" rel="nofollow">http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Synchronous_Hackathon</a><p>Indeed it will be the same weekend as your event... not to discourage you or anything. Lets see what you've got!
