Elena Lape, Founder & CEO of Holopin and W3C AB member wrote about the TPAC hackathon: "What happens when you put developers, standards, and sushi in one room"

She noted: "As much as we, standards nerds, sometimes like to think otherwise, the Web doesn’t move forward only because of formal bodies. It moves forward because individuals show up, try things, break things, and share what they learn.

Hackathons give people permission — and a structure — to do exactly that"
