F1 Web Challenge

Here is a chance for us to give back. Sign up, join our team, and get some rest. We are hoping to carpool, so leave your info below if you need a ride/would like to be a ride and where you are coming from.

From the site:

Sierra Bravo hereby challenges our fellow web professionals (nerds like us) to join a friendly competition in donating 24 hours to build a complete website for a Minnesota non-profit organization — and everyone wins!

One part nerd Olympics, one part community service project and one part race-against-the-clock — Sierra Bravo’s F1 Overnight Website Challenge will partner deserving Minnesota non-profits with teams of talented web developers for 24 hours of fun collaboration culminating in a fully operational website for each participating non-profit.

Minneapolis welcoming committee

'Allo, fellow contender in Minneapolis. I'm going to try to plan a welcoming event. I might be able to scavenge up a few couches to sleep on too (8 might be a stretch though).

Looking forward to meeting you all. This is going to be fun!

Carpooling from Milwaukee

I am in Riverwest and and would like to grab a ride in a carpool.

This is a great opportunity for a coderaving reunion, kids (sans Treehouses!).

8:00am - 5 hours = 3am

when would this carpool be leaving? 3am on saturday? or on friday evening after work? maybe if we have a 'carpool driver' who's not participating so that we arrive home safely would be a nice idea... or is there a (non-greyhound) bus that goes there?

i'd love to participate in the shindig.. as long as we can figure out the ride situation.. any ideas from the peanut gallery?

Dirt cheap if you schedule ahead of time ($16 round trip for sometime in February right now).

The way the times are setup you'd pretty much have to take off work on Friday and return on Sunday though :-/
