Have a great idea for innovating data center technologies? Then join us for our second-ever hardware hackathon on June 18, 2013, at the GigaOM Structure conference. Your idea can win a $10,000 prize if it's best positioned to become a venture-backed startup.
In addition to the prize money, the Open Compute Foundation is partnering with a team of angel investors and venture capitalists who will work with you to formulate your initial idea into a business plan.
Or if you would rather not receive the funding, the foundation will issue a patent for the winning hack in your name.
Winners will present their hacks and receive their prizes on stage at GigaOM Structure on June 19th.
Like the first hackathon at the OCP Summit in Santa Clara this past January, Upverter and GrabCAD will be there to assist you in designing your project.
Sign up for the hackathon at Upverter's site. To join the discussion on OCP hackthons, join the OCP Hack 2013 group on Facebook.
We look forward to hosting you at the hackathon on June 18th.
