Motivation
Things became more stable last time – we have clients who pay in time, the projects are mostly interesting, we have defined schedule and proven methods to achieve results. No more crashes, sleepless nights and broken builds that should have been in production a day ago 
We have not introduced TDD and really good QA process yet, however this became stable enough to make our life not so stressed. Are we satisfied? Someone – yes, but others want something more thrilling. Programming should be fun (I think so too), but we cannot make our commercial projects to be fun, because we need to guarantee the quality. At the same time, there are a lot of interesting technologies to try that we don’t deal with on a regular basis. Ruslan, our client-side developer whose hobby technologies are RoR and low-level C++ and Assembler coding proposed to hold a kind of hackathon.
