As mentioned above, our GoDevMental team at Microsoft is sponsoring the CUSEC hackathon. The exact rules will be revealed tomorrow morning at the kick-off, but I can tell you it will involve developing for Windows 8, so you can get ready ahead of time by installing Windows 8 and installing the SDK before you arrive. To register for the hackathon, just stop by our booth to sign up!

Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
