Action Items DURING the Hackathon

• Create a GitHub repository

• Connect Gitter to your repository
  • Gitter is a chatroom that can be associated with your GitHub repository. This should help you and your team share information. Gitter has a number of nice features like GitHub markdown support.

• Hack!
  • Focus on proof of concept and demonstrating feasibility rather than polish.
  • Documentation and tutorial projects should include running example code.

• Create web page explaining project at ndncomm.github.io/<project-name> using GitHub Pages.
  • Include: team members, problem statement(s), approach(es), what does and does not work, future TODOs, and opportunities for future collaboration.
  • Documentation projects should describe the initial state, what kinds changes were made (e.g. how-tos guides, enhanced code comments, improved developer guides, etc.).

• Present your project to the panel of judges.
  • We encourage every team member to present their contribution.
  • Projects will be judged on the content of their project, web page, and presentation.
