The document outlines plans for a hack event called "Dev4good" where developers will come together over a weekend to work on projects for charities using new technologies like Microsoft Surface and Kinect, with the goals of teamwork, giving back, and social experimentation while raising funds and awareness for charities. Potential projects mentioned include helping charities with story publishing, improving systems for ancient organizations, and general brainstorming on how to "boil the ocean".
