Lovely guys,

I think I must stand up and make clear about this Hackathon. As I have pointed 
out in our proposal discussion stage. Since RocketMQ opened its source in 
Github, over 100+(According to incomplete statistics) companies outside Alibaba 
Group have adopted or made secondary development in their production 
environment. So that’s the Hackathon goal. We hope more guys around the word 
can join us, creating a new ecosystem projects or make a secondary development 
based on RocketMQ. Also, I believed under the guidance of the Apache’s code of 
conduct and Apache way[2][3](collaborative software 
development,commercial-friendly standard license,consistently high quality 
software,respectful, honest, technical-based interaction,faithful 
implementation of standards,security as a mandatory feature).Apache RocketMQ 
community will become more healthy, more active, more mature :-)

As for master role. IMO, this is a service role for every project, similar to 
SCRUM’s master. we consider it as a product manager, product architect, product 
organizer. As we know, the first Hackathon has bring some guys, they are all 
active in RocketMQ community and familiar with apache way and apache code of 
conduct. Why ? We must thanks the backend mentors in the first Hackathon. As 
well, wei zhou and dongforever are willing to be the second Hackathon’s 
mentors, they will help those active contributors to be familiar with Apache.

But, may be, we have made a mistake for Hackathon’s rewards, committers are 
voted within PPMC. So, we must remove this item :-)
