I like these things as a great way to meet fellow hackers, but every time I've done this (I've only done 3), I've seen the same thing happen. People get excited about the app while there, but there seems to be little follow through afterwards. Even if you do manage to finish the app (which is hard but not impossible), the point is to have a successful app.
There is often no marketing or promotion of the app or even just adding new features. For once I'd like to see an app come out of one of these that takes off. But for that to happen there needs to be follow through and constant work that goes in after these things and not just during the meeting.I think it would make a great success story and get more people interested in doing these things.
