I think this post serves as a wonderful blueprint as to how one can create a passionate community of individuals with a single goal in mind.

I would love to see another post, detailing the other side of UM's success; the long hours students spent training, and preparing for a hackathon. Everyone loves to make the claim that they showed up at a hackathon, learned how to program some new language, and take top 3 at a hackathon. What many posts fail to address are what was done to rally the students around such causes and get them both mentally and technically prepared for a hackathon.

Great job David et al, can't wait to see what's next!
