A hackathon, as a concept, is simple. Starting on Friday, we come together to find groups to work in. Until Sunday evening we build prototypes, concepts and projects which we believe in.   Taking part in the event, you are coached and helped by experts, you have access to resources and people whom you would never meet "outside". It is a weekend of free thinking with focus on current issues and projects of passion. But, you need to deliver! This we believe, is how change happens. Not just talk, but action.   What can we achieve? In Vienna on our first event, 66 health hackers came up with 17 ideas. Out of this 8 ideas survived and groups were formed which worked on them in collaborative and interdisciplinary fashion. Out of those 8 projects only one didn’t make it to it’s finalization. The remaining diverse set of 7 projects were then presented and applauded by our participants. Among those 7 projects were: mySugr Buddy - Improving diabetes therapy with the help of artificial intelligence and surveys in a game like manner. Speech Therapy Games - To support children in their speech correction, this team developed a game that helps them with the pronunciation of words, syllables and the creation of noises. Sigmund Frog - Children’s waiting rooms are boring and could be way more exciting! With the help of an XBOX and Kinect, children are educated in a game like manner how to brush their teeth. Currently being developed together with Tieto Enator and MS!     What do I need? Be open A Laptop (or your Scrubs) Time and focus A ticket :) Sponsors This Event will be held in partnership with IBM, who also provide you with a Bluemix Enablement Session to familiarize yourself with their Bluemix product which should help you a lot in developing awesome hacks for healthcare.  So, what do I pay for? Amazing food, a fanstastic experience of saving lives through code, awesome venue, people, experts, mentors, projects, ideas… Pretty nice, right? Add to this, that ALL pay to be there – this means everyone is motivated to DO AWESOME THINGS, and not just hang out and chat. A simple recipe of success.   For more informaition, please visit our website: hacking.healthcare

Meteor Hackathon in RoofUp! Meteor is a super exciting startup out of San Francisco building a platform that is the fastest way to build web and mobile apps. They're really at the forefront of what you can do fast with technology, which makes it a great fit for startups. This distributed hackathon, taking place over the weekend of October 10th and 11th, will have chapters working out of meteor startups worldwide. We only have limited space for 50 people (and dedicated internet for the first 25), so we will collect a deposit fee which we will return to the first 25 who register, and those who show up with their own 3G connections. It will be a great chance to work on some interesting apps and make better connections within the community.  Sure you could hack alone, but why would you? Roof Up is a great location. We'll be working all day and well into the night – and doing demos Sunday. Come join us and build some cool stuff in an awesome space.  Many thanks to 4scotty.com, Roof UP & superlumen.io for helping sponsor this event!

Moved by the plight of refugees in Europe, a number of technology industry people have formed a small voluntary team to create the free, non-profit, “Techfugees” conference and hackathon. In the last two weeks, thousands of people have signed up to support and there's clearly a huge desire amongst the tech community to get involved. This will be an entirely non-profit event to bring together tech engineers, entrepreneurs and startups together with NGOs and other agencies in order to address the crisis in ways where the technology world can bring its considerable firepower. THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY 2nd OF OCTOBER in our offices in Wayra Deutschland (Kaufingerstr.15 80331 Munich) We will provide food and drinks for all the creative minds who show up and join us to help the most needed.  We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you!!  

ROSS Conf is a one day mini-conference bringing Open Source Software maintainers and developers together in one room. Or in multiple rooms, to be fair. The projects participating in its second edition taking place in Berlin include Bundler, Ruby Object Mapper and... Ruby itself. In the morning bit the project owners will introduce their projects and share what would need work in the afternoon hackathon-y part. Zachary Scott is a Ruby committer from Vermont living in San Francisco. He's best described as a big hearted crazy cat guy. André Arko founded Ruby Together, is the lead developer of Bundler and co-author of 'The Ruby Way'. Piotr Solnica has over 8 years of experience with Ruby and Rails and knows his way around legacy systems. Also: he is 'the other Piotr S.'. ROSSConf's mission is to remove barriers for people to start contributing to Open Source. Pair programming with the maintainers of major projects is an unique experience and we believe that people partaking in our hackathon will continue to create excellent free software. "ROSSConf was brilliant. 28 PRs from 9 different people, several bug fixes, lots of great improvements to documentation, refactoring, fixes to configuration and the setup process and a commit that made the Travis build MUCH faster." Katrina Owen from exercism.io about the Vienna edition ROSSConf adheres to the Open Code of Conduct (see http://todogroup.org/opencodeofconduct/#ROSSConf/hello@rossconf.io). By participating, you are expected to honor this code.
