For whom the hackathon: Anyone who wanted to finish something small in one evening. No experience bar, no team required at the door.
Description: Doors at seven, one gong at 23:58, winners read out at half past one. Seven teams finished something small enough to show on a laptop: a cook-what-you-have helper, a last-train alert, a receipt splitter. Three judges wrote a line to every team that shipped, not only to the ones that placed, and everyone who stayed voted for someone else's project before going home.
