Re: [Publicity] Another reason why our "hackathons" should be called something else



A thought to cover the various perspectives potential attendees have, and crisply define why they should be there:

 

Xenvolution â The Xen Project Architecture, Design and Deployment Summit

Could always pair this catchy phrase with a longer, more formal title. Use the short one-word title in some cases (social media); longer one when necessary to communicate to different audiences or new audiences. 

 

Xenvolution: Architect, Design & Develop Meetup/Summit/Event 

 

Xenvolution - Annual (or Biannual) Xen Project Architect & Design Summit 

 

Just a suggestion.
