Overnight Web Challenge
February 5th, 2009I’m one of the judges for Sierra Bravo’s Overnight Website Challenge, a 24-hackfest/contest that pairs 12 non-profs with teams of 10 developers each to overhaul, revamp or completely restart the NPO’s web presences.

The other judges and I reviewed over 40 applications before choosing these 12:
Access Press

Battered Women’s Legal Advocacy Project
Caring for Kids Initiative
District 202
Friends of Fort Snelling
Global Citizens Network
Hopkins Minnetonka Family Resource Center
Karen Wyckoff Rein In Sarcoma Foundation
Resource Center of the Americas
Students Today, Leaders Forever
YEA Corps

Note that I’m not linking to their sites because, well, if they were great sites they wouldn’t need the help! I’ll post a follow up after the challenge to show off the results.
This is a great event. Thanks to teams and the sponsors for volunteering!

That looks really fun. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing webdev side-work for non-profits. Not really sure how to get started though.
