Just announced the Hack Week III winners over on news.opensuse.org. I think it turned out very well, but I think we could always do better. A couple of things I’d like to see happen next time around:

• More ways for community to collaborate online. We flew several people to Novell offices so they could work together with Novell employees. I think that’s great and hope to do it again — but, we just don’t have the budget (or large enough offices…) to bring everybody together locally. So, we have to find good ways to collaborate online.
• Expanded award categories. I like our categories now, but I hope we can add one or two next year.
• More communication during Hack Week. Ideally, developers or teams would blog about their progress daily or at least a few times during the week.
• Community voting on projects. Maybe next year we can enable community voting and have a “best of hack week” as chosen by the community.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, and congrats to all the winners.
