itwbennett writes "They'll still be all-night coding sessions, but starting with this week's 'Project Mayhem' event, there are a few notable changes. First, they're longer — starting at 11 a.m. Thursday and continuing until 2 p.m. Friday. And coding through the night is optional. 'It's like, "let's take this day off to do this, and then if I need to get more done, we can hang out and finish at night,"' said Facebook engineering manager Pedram Keyani, who organizes the hackathons." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Facebook's+Hackathons+Get+a+Rethink%3A +http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F126kec5) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F05%2F2152257%2Ffacebooks-hackathons-get-a-rethink%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/05/05/2152257/facebooks-hackathons-get-a-rethink?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
