Zen and the Art of the Hackathon: Organizing Hackathons in the Philippines. My presentation at Geeks on a Beach, Sept 27, 2013, Boracay Island, Philippines.
How can we make the most of our limited resources without further overworking ourselves? Pro bono can be an answer. This workshop assesses the unique challenges facing organizations, and helps brainstorm ways to meet them in a low-to-no-cost way. Pro bono consultants can significantly expand your organization’s capacity, improve your programs, and lead to better funding, but only if you are prepared to do it right – something the Taproot Foundation knows from experience. Having completed over 1,000 pro bono projects to date, this discussion is an opportunity to learn from and apply Taproot’s best practices. Takeaways include tools to create internal buy-in, scope projects, reach out to potential pro bono consultants, and other resources.
How to Run a Successful Hackathon for Your Open APIsCA API Management
Hackathons are exploding in popularity and open API publishers are quickly realizing the power they have to attract developers. For API publishers, hackathons represent one of the most powerful means for growing an API’s profile and engaging directly with talented developers.
This Webinar, hosted API management vendor Layer 7 Technologies and guest API evangelist Kin Lane, will deliver the advice an organization needs in order to throw hackathons that contribute to the real-world success of an API publishing program.
Companies are seeing lower success rates on social media and diminishing conversion rates on the web - a trend that has put us all, especially content marketers, in the position to prove the ROI or face severe fiscal cuts.
In this presentation, Sr. Digital Strategist Dawn Borglund will discuss the following challenges that we’re facing as a community and how it relates to content marketing on our websites, social media, and email:
-How do I increase conversions?
-Why are my traditional tactics (Facebook posts, blogs, link building, SEO etc) no longer working?
-How do I reach a larger or more targeted audience?
-How do I find a balance between personable content and advertising?
-What metrics should I show my boss to prove long term ROI for my Drupal website?
-What Drupal tools can I use to help me get there?
Centric Software Architects Bill Klos, Shawn Wallace, and Morgan Howard explain what a hackathon is, how it benefits companies, and how to start one. They've hosted three hackathons for Centric technologists.
Hacking is creative problem solving. (It does not have to be about technology.)
A hackathon is any event of any duration where people come together to solve problems.
Participants form groups of about 5-10 individuals dive into problems.

Level up - First SDGs accelerator in CEEEmanuele Musa
Babele.co & Nod Makerspace are launching the first SDGs accelerator in Central & Eastern Europe, aimed at supporting the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
Here is the model:
- We invite different corporation choose 1 or more SDGs that they wish to support;
- We scout for different NGOs and social ventures promoting these SDGs;
- We let the corporate choose the venture that they want to adopt for the program;
Both venture and up to 10 employees from the sponsor company will attend the accelerator. The goal is three-fold:
- Support the social enterprise to scale its impact;
- Foster the entrepreneurial mindset of corporate employees;
- Use the program as a platform to develop a corporate-startup collaboration, focused on the SDG that both wish to support.

Why Open Source Products Are Important by a Google Tech ManagerProduct School
This talk was geared towards a non-technical audience interested in the magic and wonder of open source. Danny Rosen went over what open source is, why it's important, what it means to have an open source product and why it's important to customers.
He also discussed what it's like to be involved in the open source community from the perspective of a user, a product manager and a developer, and the challenges and opportunities related to community management and community involvement.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

5. Effectuation
Our Team's Business Model Approach
Effectuation is a set of decision-making principles expert entrepreneurs are
observed to employ in situations of uncertainty. Effectuation is an idea with a
sense of purpose - a desire to improve the state of the world and the lives of
individuals by enabling the creation of firms, products, markets, services, and ideas.
Bird in Hand Principle – Start with your means. Don’t wait for the perfect opportunity. Start taking
action, based on what you have readily available: who you are, what you know, and who you know.
Affordable Loss Principle – Set affordable loss Evaluate opportunities based on whether the
downside is acceptable, rather than on the attractiveness of the predicted upside.
Lemonade Principle – Leverage contingencies Embrace surprises that arise from uncertain
situations, remaining flexible rather than tethered to existing goals.
Crazy-Quilt Principle – Form partnerships with people and organizations willing to make a real
commitment to jointly creating the future—product, firm, market—with you. Don’t worry so much about
competitive analyses and strategic planning.
6. Team Project Management
A Google Intensive Approach
● All plans were produced using shared Google
documents.
● Many team discussions were conducted on Google+
● Regular team meetings were conducted using the
Google+ hangout (videoconferencing) technology.
● Most meetings recorded on Youtube for later viewing by
team members.
7. Opportunity Analysis Project:
A Look at Startup Weekend
● Startup weekend is a weekend long entrepreneurial event that has been
conducted in 300 cities all around the globe
● People with different skillsets meet physically, mingle, and form teams
around ideas, then work on those ideas from Friday to Sunday.of this
intense 54 hours work session.
● At the end of the event, they pitch the results of this intense 54 hours work
session to people who are investors or serial entrepreneurs.
● The event is open for everyone, and it costs about $50-$100 which
includes food for the entire weekend.
● There is a growing community of entrepreneurs in most major cities of the
world who have participated in a Startup Weekend event.
8. The Startup Weekend Organization
● No current business or community platform.
● No good method of tracking team progress
after the event.
● Event management could be improved.
● No current "virtual" events that could
leverage their branding and global
organization.
9. Startup Weekend Participants
● No easy way to connect with other Startup
Weekend participants, in spite of this shared
experience.
● No easy method to have team members in
other cities and countries.
● Some liked the idea of a "Virtual Startup
Weekend".
10. Opportunity Analysis Project Report
A proposal for a Global Community Platform for
Startup Weekend that would allow for this
hosting of virtual events and would facilitate the
formation of international teams.
11. Opportunity Execution Project
● Simulate the concept of a "virtual startup
weekend" by conducting an actual virtual
business event for startups.
● Move forward on the concept of a
community platform for Startup Weekend.
● Move forward on the concept of a "Next
Generation Startup Platform". Keep our
eyes on the prize.
12.
13. Startup Chautauqua
● An attempt to simulate one element of a "virtual startup
weekend" by conducting an event with multiple
videoconferences being conducted simultaneously.
● The first time this has ever been done on Google+. We
were pioneers in attempting this. This was also the first
real event that used the new Google+ events scheduling
system.
● Our vision for this event was different than the reality of
what happened, however the event itself was
successful.
● Event had approximately 40 participants and about a
half dozen independent hangouts were launched.
14. Multi-Conference Application
Purpose is to allow an administrator to manage
multiple, separate videoconferences as the first
step in simulating a "Virtual Startup Weekend".
● Uses Google+ API
● Allows users to launch and join hangouts.
● Lists the hangouts, and the number of
participants.
16. Virtual Startup Events
What Next?
1. Another Startup Chautauqua. Why not?
There is very little downside. It would be
difficult, but not impossible, to "monetize" this
type of event.
2. An Actual Startup Weekend Type Event.
Lots more work, but also a potentially greater
payoff. It would not be too difficult to monetize
this type of event, as it would have immediate
value.
17. Virtual Startup Event: A Proposed Approach
● CMO Team: This team would be required to prepare the market research, competitive analysis,
marketing strategy, and a short commercial advertisement (video/slide) for the best pitch.
● CFO Team: This team would be responsible to generate the revenue model, cost structure,
product/service risks and their mitigation.
● COO: This team would be responsible for the product/service design and development, if the
development is not possible, a small website would be the deliverable of this team for the best
pitch.
18. World Startups
A pivot back to where we started
Cloned from American Startups through a process of
effectualization (we used what we had).
Reasons:
● The international nature of our Stanford Team
● The "international teams" conclusion of our OAP.
● The possibility of working with a global organization like
Startup Weekend
● The Virtual Startup events we are proposing make
borders less relevant.
● Personal events and values of the Team Leader.
19. World-Startups.com
Features and Functionality

● Customized Business Profiles
● Communication & Collaboration
● Partner & Interest Matching
● Teams and Interest Groups.
● Events Promotion & Management

● Modified open source PHP/mySQL script
20. Business & Revenue Model
● Charge for Events & Training

● Charge for Advanced Services
● Advertising & Sponsorship
● Crowdfunding
● Investors and Sponsors
● Others TBD
21. Partner & Relationship Plan
● Startup Weekend
● Google
● Venture Lab / Stanford University
● Others TBD
22. Marketing & Strategy
What's next?
● Continue Effectuation Process - a half dozen
possible revenue sources could be subject
to experimentation.
● Continue Planning for a Virtual Startup
Process using Google+ hangout technology.
● Softlaunch World-Startups.com - learn what
we can from a slow rampup of users- build
out the site and community at the same time.
● Use Startup Weekend events as a lean
startup approach for continual improvement
of the platform
23. Summary of accomplishments
● Identified a real opportunity for a community for Startup
Weekend participants.
● Identified an important service area that seems to be
mostly untapped - that of virtual startup events that
facilitate the startup process.
● Conducted an actual virtual startup event and hosted
the first ever multi-conference event on Google+
● Built the prototype for an application to manage multi-
conference events on Google+
● Actually produced and built a full featured general
purpose platform for startup company founders. This
platform is fully operational and accepting applications
