Mint Digital

At the end of November, Mint is dividing into two teams for a long weekend of coding. Each team has four days to build and launch a web app.

We thought we’d do this to:

• Spur creative thinking
• See what we’d come up with
• Have the fun of starting with a blank sheet of paper
• Focus on a project in a small team

The rules are:

• Max 5 people in a team
• No .net*
• Stop working at 5 on Sunday - what’s live then gets judged.
• Before the Weekender you can spend as much time as you want brainstorming and researching the concept. Also, you can register a domain name and set up the plumbing.

Does anyone else want to join? We thought it would be interesting to open it up and see what other people get up to…

I’m imagining each team would work separately. We’d have a wiki so that teams can report back progress. We’d meet on the evening at the start of the Weekender for a drink. At the end we’d have a party. We’d find some neutrals to judge. We’d invite a celebrity (probably Cameron Diaz) to present the prize.

If you’d like to get involved, email andy@mintdigital.com

* Joke! You can if you want.

Update: This got postponed. It will now happen on the 28th Feb - 2nd March.
