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.
