Where we stand now?

Five projects have been created, 1 is live and 4 sit in private beta. Looks like Hamburg should be launching soon, but not sure on the rest of the projects. What does this mean for future startup weekends? They have some work cut out to try to get a product fully operational in less than 72 hours.

Still to come

Good luck to the rest! The work certainly is cut out for everyone. Weekends get very close — but just need that final push to get them over that beta hurdle.

    Edelbild SW attendance was about 150.
    And it’s not a free online photo editing site. It’s a web service, where professional designers will improve the quality of digital images.
