cities would like us to make the same set of applications but this time on a
paid basis. It is too early to tell whether this approach will bear fruit but we
are enthusiastic about it and I’ll keep you updated.

I hope this open letter gives you, as a developer, an insight into some of the
things that can happen after winning a hackathon and both inspires and
encourages you to enter them. I hope you can see that it is possible to get
commercial results from a hackathon win as long as you think creatively and
explore less obvious routes.

If you want to get involved with hackathons please Join Appsterdam
(appsterdam.rs), Join and attend several meetups (metup.com), and keep an
eye on the Waag society (Waag.org). Using these three resources you will
enter a network where you won’t miss a single hackathon.

Thank you for your time,
