We'll do our best to accommodate everyone, however there is a cap of 200, so first come first serve.
All content developed at the hackathons are to be open-sourced as this is the essence of the community. We strongly believe in collaboration.
Purely for the administration of this event, future events and any agreed follow up actions. It will not be used for any other purposes.
A key part of the hack is to build momentum across the community and inspire people. We would like photographs and videos for social media and marketing. But if you would prefer not to be involved then please contact us.
We do not permit the use of pre-made software at the hackathons, as this defeats the point of the hackathon. We are revisiting this and will update in due course within our hack policy.
