Hey everyone -<p>The goal with H4aC is to turn this into a movement.<p>We're trying to do the opposite of the TEDx model - minimize the red tape, but maximize the support. We're trying to build a framework for running a successful Hack and I'd love to get the HN community's thoughts on what we've got so far (<a href="http://hackforacause.org/build.html" rel="nofollow">http://hackforacause.org/build.html</a>). Borrowed heavily from agile and lean principles, but scaling back the development cycle into 10 hours of coding is an interesting challenge.<p>We also relied heavily on tools like Dropbox and Github to centralize design assets and plan on open sourcing all the code.<p>I'm actually amazed we were able to ship 12 code-complete products including an API and I'd love to be able to build a framework to allow people in any community to run a successful Hack. Planning is underway for events in Dublin, Buenos Aires, Palo Alto, and Beijing and if you'd like to get involved or create a new community please reach out!<p>Thanks,<p>Sachin
