work on.
This is a self-selection process. People form teamsaround ideas
that they think are interesting and would lil@tto work on for the
weekend. Ideally, you'd like a group
between 5 and 10 people but groups of 2 or as large as20 are
acceptable.Teams are not limited to working on web only
applica*

the weekend and those who register. But if youreally feel like
working on that new cupcake business, go forit!

work with for the weekend. Teams solidify theirconcept and create
