[PlaidHacks]

Most of the teams I talked to, mine included, were using private repos. As much as I trust the community and my peers, it would be interesting to require public git projects during a hackathon. Not only would they be a fantastic learning tool, the potential data visualizations would provide a really cool postmortem.
