Is this a scam to steal my intellectual property?[edit]

BayHac is not that kind of hackathon; there is no competitive coding element here. It is only a "hackathon" in the sense that a group of Haskellers will gather to hack on various projects.

See our /Intellectual_Property_Policy

What will BayHac be like?[edit]

We will strive to fulfill the /hopes of our attendees.
