The long version: This will be an all day hackathon on Dec 17, 2015 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM for employees and non-employees alike, with the primary focus being on contributing pull requests to open source projects on github.com. You can learn more about the basic premise from 24pullrequests.com . We will also have donation boxes out to collect new, unwrapped toys which will then be distributed by the U. S. Marine Corps' Toys for Tots Program as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children. The hackathon will be on the second floor of the Orem offices, within Building H. All action will be found inside the HAL-9000 conference room. Bluehost will provide free and secure wifi and power to support your own laptop/desktop/Commodore 64. Prizes will be awarded for the most pull requests, most accepted pull requests, and anything else we can think of. Prizes will be determined at the end of the day based on a public leaderboard. You do not need to be present to receive your prize. Bluehost will provide snacks and soda throughout the day as well as both lunch and dinner for participants. If you plan to be there during one or both meals, please make sure to RSVP so we order enough for everyone.
