Welcome to Hackasaurus Rex, king of the hackathons!

## Projects

So you'd like to work on a project, would you?  Great!  That is, um, the point of having a hackathon.  We have a list of potential projects posted to our [[project ideas page|projects/ideas/]].  Feel free to poke around there for something that looks interesting.

If you have trouble finding a project, please let one of the organizers know (a particular contact is Greg Brockman, gdb@mit.edu or gdb on Zephyr).

Feel free to work on projects of your own (and to convince other people to work on them as well!).  Our [zephyr class](#zephyrclass) would be a great place to do this.

The zephyr class for Hackasaurus is -c hackasaurus.
