Random Hacks of Kindness will be holding its Summer Hackathon at the Blue Chilli start-up incubator in Sydney, 28 November: http://www.meetup.com/rhok-sydney/events/226472874/
Volunteers form teams to work on projects which have a social, rather than financial, outcome. There are two phases: those who want something built first have to pitch to the hackers and then the hackers work on the projects. There is a judging process (I am one of the judges) but there are no large cash prizes, just some t-shirts and your name on a perpetual trophy. There is no fee for taking part and no prior experience is required. BlueChilli came to national attention when it hosted a Policy Hack, with Wyatt Roy MP, Assistant Minister for Innovation. It is located behind the Queen Victoria Building in the Sydney CBD in an old brick building (as incubators usually are): https://www.bluechilli.com/startups/ -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
