Koding Inc. has announced its second annual global virtual hackathon, set for December 12-13. Sponsored by IBM, this year’s virtual event is expected to draw more than 100,000 participants worldwide, setting a new Guinness World Record and surpassing last year’s inaugural event, which set the record for the largest-ever virtual hackathon.
IBM’s sponsorship of the event is part of the company’s strategic relationship with Koding, a developer community and cloud-based developer environment that allows users to easily work, collaborate, write and run apps—all within a Web browser. Confirmed hackathon participants will receive an invitation for a free trial of IBM Bluemix, an implementation of IBM’s Open Cloud Architecture based on Cloud Foundry, an open source platform as a service.
Registration is now open, and teams of up to five developers from around the world can sign up for this year’s hackathon at https://koding.com/Hackathon. During the event, participants will have 48 hours to hack their way into $150,000 in cash prizes. This year’s themes include educational games, enterprise productivity and data visualizations.
Koding was inspired to tap the minds of developers all over the world for a second year after an overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s event. Koding’s 2014 hackathon had more than 60,000 participants from a total of 900 total cities, and more than 500 projects were completed and submitted within 48 hours.

I am loving the new C Suite study on flourishing in this world of disruption! Here’s my favorite top AHAs from the study!
Prepare for digital invaders: Competitors are emerging to digitally disrupt business models and re-shape industries. Airbnb, Fitbit and Uber exemplify the new digital invaders and “ankle-biters” – focused competitors with the lethal combination of no legacy costs and the superior value to rapidly amass market share.
New competitors also are emerging through industry convergence, with traditional boundaries eroding as expertise from one sector is applied to another – for example, defense contractor Lockheed Martin partnering to develop personalized health and wellness solutions. C-suite executives see this trend rising above all others in the next three to five years.
Create a panoramic perspective: All business strategy is technology strategy. Most C-suite executives interviewed believe cloud computing, mobile solutions, the Internet of Things and cognitive computing will dominate the strategic business agenda in the near future with the confluence of these different technologies holding the greatest promise.
Be first, be best, or be nowhere: To create differentiation, C-suite executives are experimenting with alternative business models, collaborating across industries or exploring a new customer base./
