Hi Sara,
This is a great question...
I've spoken with the RHoK organizing folks and we're limited in how much
we can dovetail the events. I'd love to bandwagon on their hackathons
but there are limits to what RHoK can agree to based on funding commitments.
So I think we'll run GOD on the 4th but we'll also advertise the RHoK
hackathons on whatever site we get up and running... nothing would make
me happier to have people get interested in RHoK and want to participate
there (as well or instead).
In the future I promise we'll coordinate better!
