How to NOT write Java in the hackathon
Hey All:
As we reach the last two weeks of the hackathon, I want to follow up on my other email introducing Middleware products (ya gotta use one). We have heard that some people don't, can't, won't program in Java. Have no fear there are at least 3 other products that easily fit into your application. It is also fine to use the Upstream projects in your application as well - though I am not sure there is a template for them in OpenShift.
1. JDG (Upstream infinispan)

Making a great submission video
We know you’re focused on preparing your OpenShift travel app for submission, but don't forget about your video. It's often the first (and sometimes only!) thing that judges and voters review.
