What a cool idea. Somewhere between "build something in a weekend" and a 3 to 6 month incubator or accelerator. This may be ideal for someone who has too much to do in a weekend but isn't ready for a longer commitment. I hope they give public updates about the results. I'd love to see what comes out of this.
We will! Hopefully the teams will post their advances on the blog, so that everyone can see them :) Let's see how it works out, as it's the first edition and we're still working on it :)
Thanks for the comment! Nice to see people like the idea :D
This is great, but unfortunately not possible because I'll be enrolled in classes. Are there any similar programs during either the winter or summer breaks?
We are thinking about it. It depends on how this program evolves. If the first edition gets some traction we'll definitely think about doing a summer session next year too.
Sort of odd to write this post in English, submit it to Hacker News, but only mention in paragraph 9 that this program is only for Spanish speakers who can come to Madrid for 6 weeks.
Well, the program isn't only for Spanish and the idea is to eventually give it in English. The problem is that we know that not that many English-only speakers will come along the first time. Nevertheless it depends a lot on the initial teams. If they don't mind we could gladly give it in English. On the other hand, classes won't be extremely complex to grasp, even in Spanish ;)
