Hacksburg

My Hackthon

September 5 2015 by Nicole Schwartz

My original hackathon idea was to get my ubertooth working on a raspberry pi.

That idea feel through when I looked at my to do list.

I took advantage of not being at home and forced to work by working on the event scedule for Hacksburg for the next few months.

This involved:

• Scheduling our events

  • High Altitude Balloon Talk Tue Sept 15 8pm

  • Virginia Science Festival Sat Sept 26

  • Tea 101 Class Oct 3

  • Pumpkin Carving Oct 25

• Making Wiki pages

• Updating the google calendar

• Emailing the CRC (The office park in which we are located, so they can put our events in their newsletter)

• Listing the event on events calendars

  • BEV

  • Next Three Days

  • Eventful

  • Craigslist local craigslist event calendar

  • Roanoke Paper local paper

  • Twitter my feed

  • Reddit local subreddit

  • Linked In my feed

  • Google + my feed

  • facebook both our group and my feed as well as making facebook events

• Making sellable tickets for the one not free event on eventbrite

• Scheduled events on my social media using hootsuite

So thats what I do to try and let people know. Have any suggestions? Was this helpful ideas for you?
