Hackathons in Melbourne for rest of 2015
Heaps of people have found my blog, followed my Twitter and seen what I’m doing on Facebook. I’ve frequently been asked “where will you be next?” “I want to be in a hackathon” “when’s the next one”. So I thought I’d compile a list of hackathons coming up in Melbourne before the end of the year.

Thanks PuZZleDucK – I found out about this one the night it happened and forgot to put it up. Hope it all went well.

ok, coincidently this also just popped into my twitter stream: http://blog.ryanralph.net/makerthon-melbourne/
No date announced yet, but would be great if it gets off the ground.
Hiya, any links for the NewsCorp Codefest and GE Hackathon? I’d like to add them to my list: https://github.com/sdesalas/melbourne-hackathons. Thanks!
Not yet – the registration links for these are not live yet. Will post as soon as they are (I’m organising these two and therefore control the registration) 😉
