The fifth Project Helix Hackathon will happen in Basel, Switzerland during the week of May 20th. If you feel like attending, please sign up here.
Where is this going to happen? Do you have a windowless conference room blocked out?
The hackathon will take place at the Orangerie at Grellingerstrasse 75, 4052 Basel. The nearest international airports are BSL and ZRH.
I hear this is a hackathon, are you going to hack all day?
Although this is a hackathon, we won't be hacking all the time, there will also be plenty of programming and coding.
