Fwd: Olin Etherpad Hackathon Planning

[Colin Zwiebel]

And the last Olin Etherpad FAD thing (for now). Doing some initial
"research" on student interest on the FAD.
I don't expect much from these results, but I would like to get some student
buy-in (seems to work better if people respond, they some how accepted).

And if my psychology doesn't work out, at least they get exposed to the FAD
another time. People tend to get less angry about survey + invitation
 than     invitation + invitation + invitation.

Next step is to work on advertisements. Olin doesn't need them until 2 weeks
prior (we can't plan, love spontaneity). But the community needs them now!
Got enough propellor-heads I feel comfortable going public.

Cheers,
Colin

You've used it, loved it, wished it was still improving?

(If you haven't, check out a video

We're organizing an Etherpad Hackathon to take a significant whack at the
project. Sound interesting? Tell us how we can make this even 100% awesome:
