[23:02:15] I wasn't joking [23:02:23] b8'd was :-P [23:02:29] yeah lmao [23:02:45] one hour before [23:02:48] oh lmao [23:02:50] I didn't see that [23:02:55] haha oops [23:02:57] lol [23:24:38] damn, no reimbursements for brick :-( [23:34:40] a lot of hackathons don't do reasonable reimbursements [23:34:46] some hackathon in europe was like [23:34:55] we do 60$ reimbursements for people out of the country [23:35:02] and sure that might get you around in the eu [23:35:05] I don't actually care too much about the reimbursements [23:35:06] but not from the states [23:35:25] I just go within my means [23:35:38] which includes the money I get from this computer lab job to pay the bills [23:35:56] unfortunately some in our community haven't understood that yet [23:36:18] I mean [23:36:42] I will drive to a hackathon like to hackgt from where I am was a 7 hour drive, because that's the only "major" hackathon [23:36:57] well yeah [23:36:59] but I mean it's hard to do that a lot [23:37:16] especially because you gotta drive back on a lack of sleep etc [23:37:34] that was toughest part most of the time [23:37:37] yeah [23:37:41] as a hackathon organiser, I don't think hackathons should give reimbursements. It leads to events that keep trying to be bigger, but not necessarily better for their community. [23:37:59] sivoais I could understand that 100% [23:39:08] the only problem lies in supporting those who actually contribute lots to the community [23:39:39] by proven mentorship, code/product output, etc [23:39:48] but even calculating that can get hairy [23:40:27] like wikimania gives "scholarships" but you have to apply to be eligible [23:40:53] I agree w/ sivoais [23:41:00] but that wasn't the reason why we didn't do travel reimbursement [23:41:05] it's because our school didn't let us [23:41:11] ah yes. [23:41:17] last year we could because MLH was so amazing [23:41:28] they helped us figure it out [23:41:36] but it was a lot of work and they couldn't do it this year [23:41:43] yeah MLH saved unhackathon's arse last year, 2014 [23:42:10] I do think that there is a place for hackathons like brickahck [23:42:24] brickhack* [23:42:24] it's not a major hackathon [23:42:24] like [23:42:28] I feel if there are more small hackathons it's better for communities [23:42:35] it really is [23:43:04] CodeDay is actually closer to what I'd expect a hacker community to be about. [23:43:05] one of my newly crowned favourites is OHI/O from this past semester [23:43:12] yeah I was about to mention codeday [23:43:20] codeday is fantastic [23:43:27] huge school in ohio state, but only the beginning of a real hacker community [23:43:34] yet their hackathon was amaze [23:43:41] codeday actually got me into hackathons. (like the communinty and everything) [23:43:46] I wouldn't be where I am today without it [23:44:19] I'll try to check it out [23:44:35] my first hackathon was MHacks III which was total trash [23:44:45] but I still loved the concept [23:44:46] majora: how'd you like MHacks IV? [23:44:51] I didn't do IV [23:44:53] I did V [23:44:54] oh ok [23:45:01] I remember! [23:45:04] Omg I saw you [23:45:08] in your github hoodie [23:45:12] and I was like "you're awesome!" [23:45:14] I stopped living in Michigan the Auguest after IV [23:45:15] lmao [23:45:16] and shreyas is like [23:45:18] boy where you wrong [23:45:20] IT'S FRANK CASH [23:45:22] LOL [23:45:25] and I'm like OMGOMGOMGOMG [23:45:41] are you going to pennapps this time ? [23:45:45] well [23:45:46] again [23:46:04] nah, I can't. I have a flight back to Rochester for school on the 24th so I have to be in chicago by then [23:46:10] bad timing :( [23:46:14] (but yeah MHacks III was in downtown detroit so it was a bit interesting) [23:46:15] and ah [23:46:32] lol [23:46:39] no pennapps for me this time around [23:46:43] For me, my favorite mhacks was IV and then it kept getting shittier and shittier [23:46:46] oic [23:46:48] yeah [23:46:49] but dragonhacks the week before XD [23:46:50] but IV was my favorite hackathon [23:46:57] HackIllinois the first was my favorite hackathon ever [23:47:05] oh you were there? [23:47:10] my favourite has to be unhackathon [23:47:11] That was my first hackathon [23:47:14] it was fantastic [23:47:29] even though MLH had to save unhackathon's arses but still [23:47:37] yeah I was but a small frankcash back then [23:47:54] same here lol [23:47:58] I was also a small frankcash [23:48:15] we're all just small frankcash's at one point [23:48:27] huh. never thought about it like that before [23:48:34] how did they save unhackathon vishwin60 [23:48:55] well two major items went horribly wrong for them before the event [23:48:57] I think there is a lot that goes on behind the backs that would people more accepting of mlh but they live in a shrowd on their own will for some reason [23:49:28] 1) stony brook university wouldn't let them host on campus like two days before [23:49:40] 2) the organisers couldn't book the buses they promised [23:50:05] so MLH stepped in and scored us all of alleyNYC for the weekend [23:50:13] and upped reimbursement [23:50:42] nice nice [23:52:44] Honestly, I think it's incredibly clear that the reason companies sponsor is either 1.) they want developers to be familiar w/ their product so that when they become CTOs or just regular programmers, they can recommend their company be a customer because they're familiar w/ the technology or 2.) they want to get top talent [23:53:07] yup [23:55:37] oops. I'm gonna go back to ##hx [23:55:40] lol [23:55:46] lol [23:55:58] we as hackers are good at going so off topic [23:58:43] hahaha [23:58:45] yeah
