Hey, this is our third Hackathon on a boat, so we have quite some experience in organising hackathons on boats. We think, that we will do at least two hackathons during 2013. Both will be centered around maps and/or communication on sea.
We will announce them first on our mailinglist annou...@hackerfleet.org. You can subscribe to this list here: https://management.hackerfleet.org/mailman/listinfo/announce If the announcement on our own lists are not enough to fill all bunks, we will continue to announce on other lists, like I did with my post. I am looking forward to welcome you aboard the ship on our next hackathon.
