The GHM: Flexible Yet Firm Structures For Robust International Teams

We're innovating on the hackathon model. We want to involve the world 

in our Silicon Valley Hackathons. So we invented the GHM (Global
Hackathon Model). This model was a collaboration of ARDevMob Members
Lieven Janssen, Wolfram Arnold and myself. We think you're going to
have a lot of fun with this.

Here is how our AR Spring Open Developer Challenge will be the first
to include network robustness and international team members. Here's
my janky screencast #2:

Team Code Handling With Wolfram, our Hackathon Git Sherif

We're going to implement version control at the hackathon to 

accomplish 3 things:

1. Involve International Team Members.
2. Ensure no projects are "outsourced" to giant remote teams.
3. Maintain a single open source license for all code generated in the
challenge.

Here's a short video on how it will work. Apologies for the janky
screencast. I didn't have time for a proper editing session. This does
the job of communicating the structure. The slides are embedded in
this post as well.

Thanks to Wolfram Arnold for collaborating on how we will make the
challenge available to developers from around the world and
volunteering to be our Hackathon Git Sherif.

The ARDevMob Spring Open Developer Challenge

The #ARSpringOpen

On April 24th and 25th ARDevMob will hold an augmented hackathon event
at The PariSoma Innovation Loft in San Francisco California.
Developers will form teams and compete to create the best Mobile and
Web Applications. To qualify applications must contain a "mixed
reality" or "alternative interface" which utilizes a web or cellphone
camera. This is a trial run for a larger global event we are holding
in June.

From March 24th to April 24th The ARDevMob will be touring local user
groups, clubs and meetups promoting the ARSpringOpen and presenting
tutorials for Flash, iPhone, Android and more. These sessions will
prepare you to join a team in our trial run on April 24th and 25th.
Look for the ARDevMob Spring Training logo at your local development
group. There will be prizes at each Spring Training event. The grand
prize at the trials on the 24th is a SpringDesign Alex ebook reader,
or Nexus One. More prizes to be announced.

Registration for the ARSpringOpen begins soon. Follow @ARDevMob on
twitter or sign up at ARDevMob.com for updates.
