Counter-offer: I work for you for 2 weeks, you pay me for those 2 weeks, at full market rate. If you're lucky I may award you a prize at the end of it. :P

Full disclosure: NowJS is an an open-source library that is built by the developers of Flotype (http://flotype.com). We are a commercial company.

That said, Flotype is not in the business of selling utilities such as games, collaborative whiteboards and other such things you might build at a hackathon. We write enterprise real-time web server software outside of the NowJS open-source software.

We do not derive any value from the hacks from this contest.

We are doing this because we like HN and the developer community and we want you to win some free stuff!!

The hackathon is two weeks long not so you can slave away for 2 weeks and "charge me" market rates. The extended deadline is to make the competition leisurely and not time-sensitive. Work on it 10 minutes a day after work. Work on it 5 minutes before the deadline. It's all fair game.

Please participate. We love hacking and winning free things. We think many of you will as well. =]
