Should we make a vanilla DE so we can build it up from scratch and have cleaner metadata diffs to submit ? And how to we make the diffs ?

    You're going to want to create a new DE from scratch; that way you can be sure you're on the latest version.

    I have tow questions regarding the development enviroment:
    1.-Can we create the DE org before the event starts?
    2.- Since I have access to a Partner Developer Edition (Super-sized DE org), can I use this edition for developing my Hackathon Project? https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Partner_Development_%26_Test_Environments

    1. Yes, you can.

    2. No. Only tools that are generally available to the public are eligible.

    Thanks for the answer... so it has to be a individual developer edition right?

    Commenting on the original posters question:

    If you create a new App on a new Salesforce Developer Edition Org, then it is relatively easy to add your app to Git.

    My suggestion for adding your App to Git is to use an unmanaged package, then download that package with either Force-CLI, Force.com IDE or Mavens Mate. Each time you download a new version of the package, you can commit that as new version in Git (Git manages the diffs for you).

    There are guides available during the event on using Git to submit your metadata & code. There are also Atlassian & Salesforce staff that can help you if you have never used Git before.

    My advice is to try commit something to Git as soon as you started - even if its just a new App, so your development activities are less interrupted when the actual Git commit deadlines approach.

    How can we get a dummy SFDC account with fake data in its (like account, opportunity, contacts...)

    Oliviervaussy. You could use Google to find Salesforce account dummy data and either use the Salesforce dataloader or something like JitterBit / dataloader.io to upload that dummy data into your Developer Edition Org.

    If you get dummy data via Google, you should of course check the quality of that data meets your needs and contains nothing that would break any event rules or decency.

    Thank you.

    Every developer edition comes with a limited amount of sample data - contacts, accounts, leads, etc.
