  • “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
  • “Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”
  • “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
  • “Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.”

    • Open Source

    The term open source refers to something people can modify and share because its design is publicly accessible.
    The term originated in the context of software development to designate a specific approach to creating computer programs. Today, however, "open source" designates a broader set of values—what we call "the open source way." Open source projects, products, or initiatives embrace and celebrate principles of open exchange, collaborative participation, rapid prototyping, transparency, meritocracy, and community-oriented development.

    Hackathon

    A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest or codefest; a portmanteau of hacking marathon) is a design sprint-like event; often, in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on software projects.

    The goal of a hackathon is to create functioning software or hardware by the end of the event. Hackathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system, an application, an API, or the subject and the demographic group of the programmers
