THETRAVELIST: Hackathon, June 15

The Travelist

Competition to create web app for the chance to win mentoring opportunities and chacne to network with people in the industry

#ulpifkohackathon is a hackathon event which tries to get pairs to develop a web application. The hackathon aims at keeping the hacker tradition alive and the principles of free open source software. They have 48 hours to create a web app. The winner is chosen by founders; Ulpian Morina and Ivaylo Danev.

"Playfully doing something difficult, whether useful or not"
The real aim of #ulpifkohackathon is bringing people together who share the same love and passion for finding new solutions and new knowledge, "in a playful way".

The hackathon started last year and this year for June we have a new hackathon event in collaboration with The Travelst.

The theme for this hackathon is travel. The summer is here and we think it would be appropriate for travel to be the theme. We don't think that the current travel applications and sites are good enough and we know that there is much more that could be done. So lets hack away.
