What is the general feeling about out-of-area applicants to something like this? I would be very interested in attending one of these (can't make this one), but I live in Dallas. I would be applying as an individual.
Unfortunately for this one we are only accepting people that are going to be able to be there in person. For the next one we do, we will try to incorporate remote participants.
Remote would be great, and would certainly increase my chances of participating in a future event. I was, though, talking about physically attending a future event. I wanted to know your feelings on attendees coming in from outside of a reasonable distance from Mountain View, if that matters.
OK, I am all for people coming from out of town! It would be great to get people form all over. For example, We at Upverter are Coming from Toronto, Canada!
If you shoot us an email at upverter support, we will add you to a mailing list for the next Hackathon that we do.
