+# FAQ
+Frequently Asked Questions
+
+## Where's my ticket to the hackathon?
+We had an extensive *application* process that was detailed by Quincy on at https://hackathon.freecodecamp.org/ . If you *successfully* completed this process, and you were *one of the first 300 to do so* (for the in-person event), then you were sent a ticket to the email address provided in your application. If you do not have a ticket then I'm sorry, but you cannot participate.
+
+## What is the JAMstack?
+The JAMstack is a powerful new approach for deploying fast, highly scalable sites and applications that don't require backend infrastructure. Thanks to recent advancements in the web platform, developers can now run any web property, from simple sites to complex applications, on global CDNs and without a single web server. Learn more about how the JAMstack works [here](https://jamstackconf.com/what-is-jamstack).
+
+## Can the online participants and in-person participants be on the same team?
+Unfortunately no. This makes things needlessly complicated. Further, there are separate prizes and judging protocol for the online and in-person hackathon. If we discover that your in-person team has remote collaborators, you will be disqualified.
+
+## Can the online/in-person hackers still chat?
+Of course. We're all in the same Discord chat group. And since this hackathon is largely about education, the in-person/remote groups should both help each other out by answering questions.

+# 2018 freeCodeCamp JAMstack Hackathon
+
+## What is a hackathon?
+
+A hackathon is an event where people join teams and code together, then show off the projects they built. They usually only last one or two days, and often involve judging and prizes.
+
+## How is this hackathon different?
+
+Most hackathons focus principally on the end-goal -- the product. While this hackathon places a significant amount of focus on the end-product as well, we are also placing a significant amount of focus in the *process* of how you approach building your project.
+
+### The Process -- what it means
+
+Building great software isn't just about the code you write. Your planned approach to building it that is equally if not more important. So here's what this means for you as a hacker at this hackathon:
+* Judges will pose a number of questions for you, and share them with you in the Discord group
+* Judges will visit teams and ask you these questions to see how you are handling your approach to building your app. Do you have a plan of action? Are you organized in your list of responsibilities and dividing tasks? Are the goals realistic given the limited time frame?
+* This will take place shortly after lunch.
+
+

+# Netlify
+Netlify automates deployment for your frontend, serving your apps and sites over our custom global Content Delivery Network. You won't need server-side rendering with our integrated [prerendering](https://www.netlify.com/docs/prerendering), [proxy redirects](https://www.netlify.com/docs/redirects), [form handling](https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling), [user authentication](https://www.netlify.com/docs/identity), [serverless Lambda functions](https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions), and more.
+
+### Purpose
+Developers everywhere are using the [JAMstack](https://jamstackconf.com/what-is-jamstack) approach to connect blazing fast frontends to a growing array of microservice APIs. There are lots of advantages to this, but sometimes you need to run a bit of server-side code. It's not worth running a whole server for, and that approach doesn't scale well, anyway. Serverless functions services like AWS Lambda are perfect for this, and Netlify's [new functions add-on](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2018/03/20/netlifys-aws-lambda-functions-bring-the-backend-to-your-frontend-workflow/) makes it easy to deploy, test, and access your Lambda functions right alongside the rest of your app.
+
+### Challenges
+<!-- We are looking for the most interesting app using Netlify's integrated Lambda [functions](https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions).

-# Hasura
+# Clarifai
 #### Quick Description
-Hasura provides instant backend APIs for your frontend, a simple `git push` to deploy your app and GraphQL APIs on PostgreSQL without any set up.
 
 
 ### Purpose
-Almost every dynamic Web or Mobile App requires an API to talk to the Database, Authentication for User Identity, some form of File Management and an easy way to deploy.
-
-Hasura makes your development fast with 
-* Instant Backend APIs for Database (GraphQL / HTTP JSON over PostgreSQL)
-* Authentication APIs for multiple providers with a ready to use UI Kit.
-* Filestore APIs to manage file uploads and retreival.
 
-Imagine all of these APIs with permissions / access control defined by you for your application. And just doing a `git push hasura master` to deploy your app.
 
-Hasura has quickstart projects so that you don't have to setup the initial project structure / boilerplate code. Head over to [Hasura Hub](https://hasura.io/hub) for cloning a boilerplate of your choice. For example - [hello-react](https://hasura.io/hub/projects/hasura/hello-react). This will be a ready to deploy project which will give you a hasura-app.io domain for your project, HTTPS enabled, HTTP/2 - gzip supported API Gateway so that its production ready.

-# TokBox
+# Pilon
 #### Quick Description
 
-Easy to use API for embedding WebRTC-based interactive live video into your web and mobile apps. 
 
 ### Purpose
 
-Allow your app users to communicate and be seen with Live Video.
 
-The TokBox API builds on WebRTC and is available for JavaScript (browsers), iOS, Android and Windows. We have ReactJS and ReactNative sample code showing how to use the APIs within React. Modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox and Safari, have WebRTC built-in and so JS apps can be easily run with no plugins. Mobile deploymemts simply include our SDKs.
+##### API endpoint:
 
-In addition to live video and voice, the API also provides screensharing, session recording, inter-client signaling, chat/messaging and other capabilities.
-
-The TokBox cloud platform (PaaS) scales from one-to-one video interactions to large multi-party video chat sessions to interactive broadcasts to huge audiences, including concurrent streaming to Facebook, YouTube and Twitch. TokBox is trusted by thousands of global customers including leading social media apps and industry apps in Healthcare, eLearning, Financial Services and Entertainment.
 
 ### Challenges
 
-Live Video augments the user experience of your app, so dev challenge is to think through your UX and when and how video communications enhances workflows and processes your users need to perform within your overall app design.
-
-Social use-cases tend to emphasize users meeting ad-hoc and communicating between themselves while industry use-cases tend to emphasize well-defined moments such as doctor/patient consultations and eLearning classrooms with teachers and many students.
 
 ### Docs
 
-Get started on our Hackathon page, which has all the links: https://tokbox.com/hackathon
