We are very open with what teams want to implement.
There are just a few conditions: - it has to be in technology - it must be innovative - you must have a working demo at the end of the event
yes, there is a track for people who want to do commercial projects, but this is not and should not be the norm. As i said, our position for the event is that we only provide the space, food, wifi, t-shirts ... and it's up to each team to find an idea, organize themselves, and decide what kind of project they want to work on

Your projects are all nice and interesting, but I'm not sure they fit
well
with the philosophy of the BlitzWeekend event.
I'm not sure either. Yet Heri, one of the organizers, told me that it all was an initial try, and that everything was possible :-).
The goal is to create and demonstrate a "product" idea (whatever that means) in 48 hours. (Not that I agree that this goal is a realistic on, though.)
Isn't a package is a product? :-)
But I agree that part of the idea of the BlitzWeekend is creating projects that could eventually attract investors, and I guess investors prefer creating new markets than go fight on already established ones, and as such, may be attracted by new and un-thought revolutionary ideas, which nobody else is going to soon have...
