Seems good. I would probably have re-written it to have a little "oomph" to it. We're trying to present an interesting picture of each hackfest. Think the language used in those gourmet magazines where they start with "It was a cold day in December, in contrast to the warm bubble enthusiasm at the UX hackfest.." etc etc.
That said, I think that's really the kind of job of an editor, write the piece and then we'll start making it look pretty. You're going in the right direction however, because it is a good basis for that kind of writing because you need to get the facts and what happened. sri On Sat, Feb 16, 2013 at 5:01 PM, Fabiana Simões <fabianapsim...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi guys, > > I wrote two articles for the Annual Report, one about the User Observation > Hackfest and another about the A Coruña UX Hackfest.
