For the second time, Los Angeles will play host to Startup Weekend, courtesy of our friends at Scrum Club. Starting on a Friday night, software developers, designers, marketers & entrepreneurs gather together, pitch completely new product or company ideas, and then apply Agile & Scrum development practices to try to deliver on those pitches before the end of the weekend. As an original sponsor of Scrum Club, ProjectLocker is happy to donate its hosted software development services to all of the teams involved.
As of Saturday night, there are over 40 participants still engaged in active development on 7 separate applications. You can get up-to-date information from various people on the scene at the offices of BlankSpaces by following #swla on Twitter.
In the meantime, you can learn more about Startup Weekend in general and Scrum Club in particular by clicking on the logos here. We'll report back with the results of the weekend on Monday.

If you've logged in to My ProjectLocker or ProjectLocker Portal lately, you've probably noticed our new login screen that only uses e-mail address and password. We changed the login screen from three fields to two because we wanted to make it easier for customers to access their information — everyone remembers their e-mail address but not everyone remembers the account name and login name they used to set up their account.
You may also notice that the New User screen no longer has a login field. For the same reason, we're also moving toward making e-mail address function as a login ID. Existing accounts will not be affected, but new users that get created will be set up in this fashion. This is part of a series of changes that we are planning to improve the ability of ProjectLocker users to collaborate on private projects.
We welcome customer feedback on this decision; as always your guidance tells us what works and what doesn't work for you.

A bit of a public service announcement from our friends and partners at Scrum Club, an organization based in Los Angeles dedicated to providing training and actual hands-on experience in Scrum and Agile best practices.
