December 2015 Summaries

The text describes how to successfully run a distributed hackathon, as experienced by the team behind PageGauge.io. Key points include setting up beforehand (1-2 weeks prior), agreeing on an idea and objectives, preparing logistics, choosing a name, engineering setup, focusing on process during the day, using key tools such as Trello, Slack, and Hangouts, closing out tasks, and learning from the experience. The hackathon resulted in the successful launch of PageGauge.io within one day across multiple cities.
