Ideas for future Hackathons

Why don't we have a hackathon in…

Just put your idea on the list:

• Japan (somewhere in the mountains or in a cool city (not Tokyo or Kyoto :-)
• Barcelona
• Bordeaux ( Cité du Vin, Opéra National )
• Basel :)
• De Watertoren, Vlissingen, Netherlands
• New York City (https://www.wework.com/l/new-york-city--NY, https://privateevents.neuehouse.com/the-boardroom...)
• SoCal (L.A. / San Diego / Palm Springs), ideal for a winter location !
• Sydney / Melbourne
• Singapore

Let's do it!

How to organize a hackathon

1. Start a few months in advance, so that people have time to plan and get travel budget
2. Suggest a couple of dates and share a Doodle survey on #helix-chat
3. Find and book a venue with: Wifi, space to work, hotels and restaurants nearby
4. Measure the network speed at the venue (in Basel we had 10MBps up, which was a bit on the slow side)
5. Copy one of the existing Hackathon pages
6. Invite everyone
