Startup Weekend Atlanta

I am ripping this from Stammy who is very jacked up about Startup Weekend Atlanta did an excellent post on the subject and more.

Startup Weekends begin on a Friday evening and the project is completed by Sunday night - about 56 hours. Before the event people coordinate via an online wiki to throw out some ideas for a company and product. When the Startup Weekend kicks off, attendees vote on ideas then dole out tasks (ranging from legal to back-end development) to everyone there. There’s always something for someone to do and even if you can’t code your way out of a cardboard box you can at least write website copy or provide feedback to the designers.

It’s the best summary of the happening that I have seen so far and Andrew agrees with me.
