If we missed your event, make sure and submit below as a comment and we’ll include it next week.
For those that are new to the hackathon space, these events are not intended to perform illegal activities around computer networks. Software developers widely see hacking as a quick and dirty programming solution to a problem. It is NOT about gaining access to other networks, which is a definition widely publicized by the media and hollywood. Among the developer community, it is meant to be a positive term that drives innovation among developers.

We have launched a monthly online only hackathon (we’re calling it the SAPI Bounty Program) where we issue a creative challenge to developers and award a $2,500 prize to for best solution. This month the hack challenge is about Zombies: http://developers.sensis.com.au/blog/read/SAPI_Bounty
