What does hacking have to do with user experience?

I'm going to have to agree with Andrew, this looks like a run of the mill hack-a-thon. The initial sessions I saw posted were all about Facebook apps, Google Maps apps, iPhone apps.
Maybe there's a more concrete tie-in to UX somewhere but right now I'm get the feeling it's "let's slap some US, that means pretty designs right, onto a hack a thon"

I'm sort of wondering about the UX/hacking tie myself: is there any point in attending this if you're a UI person who doesn't actually write code?

Our Sun contest is based on User Experience. User Experience is just our theme but the barcamp is everything about building web applications.
Adobe is sponsoring contest prizes. Winner(s) will receive Adobe commercial software license(s) and book(s).
