I’m from the Samsung Accelerator, and we’re throwing a hack-a-thon with SmartThings May 21-22. There will be hardware, knowledgeable experts from SmartThings and Samsung, prizes, and food. Come flex your skills and make something great.
We’re hosting at the Samsung Research America campus in Mountain View, with a shuttle from San Francisco if you need it.
