Hello all,<div>Our Hackathon is over and out. Once I&#39;m done yapping with fam in NH and enjoying delicious turkey, I get out a more proper recap. For now, I would like to say thanks to all of you. Solid, hard work from all of you is what got us so far this weekend. And speaking of which, we are 90% of the way to having etherpad packaged.</div>

<div><br></div><div>A few quick accomplishments</div><div>* Packaging of at least 5 dependencies</div><div>* Update to a dependency to make it Java 1.6 compatible and src packageable</div><div>* Conversion from a non-free JSON library to an apache license library</div>

<div>* Removal of some unneeded java libraries</div><div>* Discussion on communities and their upkeep</div><div>* Talk of future applications of Etherpad (embeddable, engine for other purposes)</div><div>* Knowledge sharing on git, packaging, and the Operational Transformation algorithm</div>

<div>* More (lemme know what I&#39;ve forgotten as I&#39;d like to write it all up)</div><div><br></div><div>Next steps are to get the application itself packaged and figure out a random build hurdle in c3p0. Take a break from Etherpad, though, y&#39;all deserve a break.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Safe travels to you all and we&#39;ll be in touch,</div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">Colin</span><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse">  Olin College &#39;12<br>
