For anyone in the Seattle Washington area:
Seattle VR Meetup and Windows Holographic User Group of Redmond (WinHUGR)
are pleased to announce that we are working together on a Holographic Hackathon
On May 20-22, come join us for a Holographic Hackathon! Microsoft HoloLens is the world's first untethered holographic computer, mixing holograms into your real world. Over the course of 48 hours, you'll form teams with other developers, designers, artists and organizers / PM types to collaboratively create a holographic app to solve interesting problems. Engineers from the HoloLens team will be on-site along with HoloLens devices.

Too far for me
Sounds like fun, wish I was located closer. I think the industrial uses are where the Hololens can shine. I'd be interested to know what problems they intend to tackle.
Hey @Jarrod1937, @mtycholaz and the rest of the gang here,
I am pleased to say that our area is just the first stop on the Holographic Hackathon tour.
A June stop in San Fran was just announced, so our event in May is just the beginning.
Everyone should keep a look out for community events like this in your area.

The seattle one is a general theme of social good and they'll probably give something more specific at the event.
I did a VR hackathon a couple weeks ago here in Seattle and it was a blast, looking forward to the one this weekend on the hololens.
This past weekend was the first hackathon I have ever attended. It was a great way to spend the weekend. Very talented, not to mention great, people with amazing energy and fantastic projects!
Thanks to all who attended and spent time chatting with me.

I agree with @DavidKlineMS, I am blown away after having spent several days with some really wonderful people and witnessing the creativity, productivity, generosity and team work everyone brought to this 44 hour long event as the hours flew by.
This first ever Holographic Hackathon was a truly awesome event that has left me inspired and amazed.
Many thanks to Microsoft and all of the mentors and staff who backed and supported this event and who ultimately helped make it one of those events that I am very proud to have participated and played a part in.
I definitely enjoyed meeting in person, the people from the forums that joined in on this premier event and I value the many new connections that I have made.
This particular event is now going on the road and if it stops by a city near you I totally recommend that you move mountains not to miss it, it will be crazy fun and massively beneficial. I also send my congratulations and good wishes to the different VR, AR and MR community groups that are going to host this event in other cities.
This was a perfect example of the value in participating and sharing with the rest of the community of creative and capable people working with the HoloLens.

This was my second hackathon and I did 2 all nighters again! It's so awesome to be around so many creative people just throwing everything they have at all kinds of ideas. Its like being in high school at a LAN party again.
Our presentation was horrible, I didn't even watch it until we were on stage. It basically showed the two main bugs and nothing else. It's hard to create a presentation at the very end of a hackathon after getting so tired.
This is me taking a nap at 6am trying to get 2 hours of sleep before it got too loud to sleep at breakfast: http://imgur.com/srP8Ryb
This is a vid I made today of our last build we'd made before turning in the devices at 1pm yesterday, it was a circle that fit over the tables at the hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8rnw6c4M90 So tired...
@Holosheep
Looks like it was a great hack! Sorry I missed it
@LeefromSeattle Awesome stuff, it is always amazing how much can be achieved with a weekend on focusing on a project. You should walk away proud with what was accomplished in 48 hours!

I just posted a few pictures from the Seattle event for those that are interested or curious.
