haxTuple: Kicking Off 30-day Hackathon for Developers Worldwide

Next month we're inviting developers worldwide to our company’s 30-day open source developer competition, haxTuple 2014. Prizes include a genuine Google Glass, mobile warehouse barcode scanner, geeky gear, and a chance to meet Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak!

As an open-source company, we've long known that our community is our secret weapon. haxTuple is an event that helps focus and rally this community towards the shared goal of improving our product. Plus there are prizes. The previous iterations of haxTuple were as a bug-fixing derby, with top prize going to the top bug-fixer. This year, we're adding a wildcard, to help introduce our new technology to some of our community members who might not have yet gotten their hands dirty with it.

Read the media release with haxTuple information and links to the timetable for events, terms of the competition and technical details.
