HackUB (Hackathon Ulaanbaatar) - Organizing event

Everything starts with something, and there is always first time. So this August with bunch of friends we decided to organize an event. And possibly biggest event for Mongolian IT crowd. We never actually organized any event though. All had none to small experience about organizing anything. But anyhow we started planning it. So as usual this is reminder for me.
