Can I add hackathons for the month of December? Didn't see a 12.json so I wasn't sure :o

Global, virtual hackathon (open to anyone).

Open Timeline: January 9th, 2017 - Feburary 9th, 2017

Website: http://octanehack.com/

Prizes: Over $10K - including iPad Pros, Apple Watches, Amazon Echos

Challenge: Use HPE's ALM Octane API to solve one of four software development challenges.

Please add HackGSU, on March 25-27. It is happening at Georgia State University, in Atlanta, Georgia.
There are prizes, and buses for schools.
HackGSU.com

On each json document, the name of the month is used as the object key and the data[hackathons] is stored as the value. I would recommend that json is presented as an array of objects[hackathons] as the user can easily find the month from on of the objects. Thanks !

As I develop the 2.0 branch with better code readability and structure, here is what I have in my list:

• Update the app to Angular 1.5.7
• Add logo url field (#146)
• Ability to add events to its user calendar (#123)
• MLH field (#151)
• Add Bootstrap design support?
• Implement Font Awesome (4.7 now, but 5.0 once it's released)
• Integrating some API for flights (See #122)
• Search engine via Algolia for searching hackathons

@paked's TODO:

• Testing to ensure that the JSON schema is fulfilled (#222 via #221 (comment))

Hey, I want to know that what software you to create the API for the website. I am inspired of what you did over this repo, so I would love to create something like this.

Thanks.

As suggested by @adeora7 at #224, we could provide links to subscribe to hackathon mailing lists. We should decide if we want to do this + do a rough study on what % of hackathons have mailing lists (should be high enough to justify a new field).

There are hundreds of hackathons out there, and we want them listed on Hackalist! This is an everlasting issue.

To contribute:

• Find a hackathon you would like to add! Our listed hackathons shouldn't be geographically restricted (e.g. a hackathon in London should be open to people from anywhere, not just London).
• Hackalist's data is stored in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files, organized by year and month.
• Check out our README and take a look at the information on our API.
• Go into our API and navigate to the year/month you would like to add a hackathon into.
• Add a JSON object for your hackathon (tip: look at how previous listings are done to see how yours should look).
• Check for errors in the JSON file with JSONLint.
• Good to go? Submit your pull request!

Skeleton's great, but it's not really necessary for this project. I'll work on custom styling over Thanksgiving Break.

Something I've had on my mind but never got to is an official Hackalist Twitter account. It'd basically be used to tweet out general hackathon updates (when we add a new hackathon / when a hackathon is coming up / etc.), along with allowing others to tweet at us updates for the site.

Unfortunately @hackalist was taken back in 2009. Twitter does have a policy of removing accounts inactive for more than 6 months, but they don't seem to actually do so - and there is no way to officially acquire another person's account, even if inactive, unless you can prove trademark infringement or impersonation. Short of me filing a trademark, I think we're out of luck. I tweeted at the account, so hopefully they respond. But if nothing comes of that...

...I've reserved @hackalistorg as our account. Once we're up and running, I'll give our collaborators access (probably through TweetDeck). If anyone has any suggestions for a better username too, feel free to comment! Thanks.

Urban waste in India is a problem that is looms larger every year. Poor waste pickers dig through our scraps trying to make a living from whatever plastics and metals we have left for them to resell. NGOs are trying to improve waste pickers' conditions, but they are fighting a one-sided battle. Indians around the country are demanding more reliable, ecologically safe waste services to clean up their cities. This movement needs the combined efforts of programmers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs to rethink waste and incorporate waste pickers into the future of clean and liveable cities for India.

e.g. ConUHacks and UofTHacks are out of order in February

I propose we add some primitive form of testing into the repository to ensure that before Pull Requests are merged they do not break anything else.

The two major break points I see at the moment are:

1. Invalid JSON (A whole lot of PRs)
2. Events being in the wrong order (#214)

My solution is to add a basic set of tests to the repository which would be ran when every single PR is sent by Travis CI in order to make our lives simpler as maintainers. My gut feeling is to go with node.js and one if its testing frameworks (We may be able to get away without one, if at all possible... I'd prefer going for this option), since we already have JS in this repository.

I imagine the test file being broken into two separate steps, one for each of the aforementioned break points.

warning pseudo-JS incoming

Firstly, loading each month:

var hackalist = {};

for (var file in files) {
  var text = // read file here
  var month = JSON.parse(text); // Node throws an error here if the JSON is non compliant
  hackalist[month.name] = month;
}

And then comparing the dates:

var previous;
for (var hackathon in hackathons) {
  if (previous == null) {
    previous = hackathon
  }
  if (hackathon.date < previous.date) {
    // Throw an error.
    break;
  }
}

From here we need to configure Travis CI, and then a maintainer will have to enable everything.

How many times a hackathon was visited using this platform can be displayed. It can be displayed publicly or informed through emails monthly or weekly to the concerned people

Found these neat github buttons. I think we should try and get some use out of them, they are a bit nicer than the normal bootstrap skeleton button we have right now. Although, because they have different purposes maybe we should have them co-exist... Except I have no idea where we would put them.

As per this discussion, we'll track cost-to-attend (if there is one) for our listed hackathons. This should be implemented into the API, and previous hackathons should be updated to reflect this (all prior hackathons have been free-to-attend, unless specified in the notes).

I'm the organizer. I'm not sure if I need to open up an issue or what the process is for adding so let me know if i need to do something different or you need more info. Thanks a bunch for setting this up it's really cool!

Month ordering should be in order, from August 2014 - April 2015.

Ordering right now:

• April
• August
• December
• February
• January
• March
• November
• October
• September

Noticed the month nav buttons aren't properly centered, at least in Chrome:

Don't have time tonight to look at unfortunately.

I just noticed that we don't have a license... I suggest you do so.

From previous discussions (most recently #146), we'd like to implement an MLH boolean field for whether or not a hackathon is an MLH member.

MLH or mlhMemberEvent
yes | no | unknown

Any MLH events can have a little MLH icon placed somewhere within their listing.

I think it would be really great to get some community opinion about what we should do for V2.0.

If everyone is fine with it, I'll post this message into HH:

Yo Hackathon Hackers.

http://hackalist.org is getting an upgrade. Are there any features you would like to see added for version 2.0?

Currently we are:
- Redesigning the frontend
- Improving the API usability

Thanks,
Kevin Payravi, Rodrigo Argumedo and I.

Is there anything else we want to say?

This is a hack to get people interested and involved in open source solutions to travel and transport - integrating public transport and shared mobility into Mobility as a Service.

It will bring together passionate developers, digital artists, IoT experts and business savvy professionals, who are interested in the future space of 'Mobility as a Service', and want to be part of delivering this at scale, through open collaboration.

We want folk to use this weekend to catapult their ideas into reality, take a idea or concept to working prototype in 48 hours. With the support of our global open source community and onsite tech gurus, facilitated by our partners Iotic Labs.

And the difference between a Hackathon and a HackOut? This isn't a race. Its about building meaningful relationships and powerful collaborations that can get us somewhere, together.

If you can add it to the list, I'd be v grateful.
Best wishes,
Beate

@paked What do you think about removing hackathons from the previous month (in this case, August)? It's nice to have, but with the long list of hackathons, it's probably best to shorten the list.

Social media links on website.

Social media icons scaled poorly. When width is defined for large icons, they render poorly in Firefox.

When I created Hackalist, my goal was for it to be a directory of hackathons accessible to anyone. One of the criteria I had in mind is that hackathons must be free. However, there are some great hackathons out there that do have an entry fee (usually small: $10 - $25).

I'm looking for input on whether or not we want to include hackathons that have an entry free. If so, we could also make a new API field on whether or not there's a cost to get in.

Hack HSV's link is metrohacks and now Hack HSV. Their website is www.hackhsv.com

Did some testing of the toggles (travel reimbursements, prizes, and high schoolers). If I toggle something, it will properly properly show only hackathons that meet that toggle. However, clicking the toggle again to disable it will not restore the full list of hackathons (e.g. if I toggle"Accept High Schoolers", it will properly show only hackathons that accept high schoolers; when I disable the toggle, nothing changes).

Hey guys,

we have a bunch of hackathons coming up for this year. All information is available here: wearhacks.com

Wanted to add them here.

Cheers!

Currently hackalist is an individual, I feel it would be more representative to switch to an organisation... I believe this can be done at the press of a button, somewhere in setttings.

Sorry, I'm a bit OCPD about this meta stuff haha!

Not a priority, but having an "Add to Calendar" button for each hackathon would be a nice feature. Any disagreement, please say so!

Could be a part of 2.0, but could be added later on.

Hi, my name is Sachin Katyal, the founder of Hack HSV. Hack HSV is Alabama's first high school hackathon, and I would love it if it would be added to Hackalist. Just some information about Hack HSV. It is exclusively a high school hackathon in Huntsville, Alabama where over 100 students are able to participate. Transportation is unfortunately not provided. The competition will take place on April 15, 2017, where it is only a 12-hour hackathon. Prizes are also given out at the end of the competition. For information, you can head over to our website www.hackhsv.com.

It would be nice to be able to filter by city/country/continent.

In order for a really smooth mobile app on this, it would be awesome to include the hackathon's logo on a detailed screen. Can we add a new field for this in the JSON of each entry?

May take some time to update the current entries, though.

At the moment, Hackthon titles (hackathon.title) do not hold their case from the API. All letters except the first are converted to lowercase (e.g. HackPSU -> Hackpsu).
