Free Hackation in New York to work on your side project
- anandkulkarni 14y agoIf I weren't already running a company, I'd jump on this in a heartbeat. Spending a weekend working on people-matching algorithms sounds like a blast.
- danellis 14y agoOne of the items on the application form is "I am a US citizen". Is that a requirement for their Hackations?
- alain_gilbert 14y agoI'm also interested by the answer of this question !
- nottombrown 14y agoAbsolutely not a requirement. Awesome Non US citizens should apply.
- tehwebguy 14y agoLooks like they updated this to say that it's NOT required
- papercruncher 14y agoWho owns the IP that may come out of this?
- crazypyro 14y agoIt would be pretty shitty if they said you can work on your own projects and then demanded that they own the work you do. They definitely should clarify this on the site though....
- shunter 14y agoI'm guessing that the restriction on location is mainly related to keeping the travel costs down. I 'm mainly just curious as to why the US Citizenship is a hard requirement, particularly if I'm accepted to work on my own stuff.
- crazypyro 14y agoJust in case you didn't see, they responded that this was not a hard requirement.
- JulianWasTaken 14y agoCool. Developer interaction always sounds good to me, so, signed myself up. Let's see what happens.

- nottombrown 14y agoI added a clarification to the application that US citizenship is not required.
- intellegacy 14y agoThis is pretty cool. Although I wonder what "grouper" is getting out of this. And why grouper is willing to part with good money. It seems wasteful to me.
- Geekette 14y agoSounds like a great way to screen, invite, carry out an extended interview and potentially hire/acquihire selected targets. :)
