List of hackathons in Barton, Australia in 2018

DAMA Data Modelling Special Interest Group Webinar The webinar will commence at 13:00 pm ADST and finish sharply at 14:00 pm ADST. 13:00 - 14:00 Canberra, Sydney & Melbourne 12:00 - 13:00 Brisbane 12:30 - 13:30 Adelaide 10:00 - 11:00 Perth Abstract Every year at Data Modeling Zone (DMZ), I reflect on my assignments since the last DMZ, and share patterns observed that might influence our work in the years to come. Many of the observations shared at prior DMZ events have proven to influence our work such as our stronger relationship with the data scientist and the increased role of NoSQL within our organizations. This past year at DMZ US, I raised three challenges facing the data modeler, and that evening over 100 data modelers tackled these challenges as part of our annual Data Modeling Hackathon. On this webinar, we will discuss the three challenges followed by the results of the Hackathon. About the Speaker: Steve Hoberman has trained more than 10,000 people in data modeling since 1992. Steve is known for his entertaining and interactive teaching style (watch out for flying candy!), and organizations around the globe have brought Steve in to teach his Data Modeling Master Class, which is recognized as the most comprehensive data modeling course in the industry. Steve is the author of nine books on data modeling, including the bestseller Data Modeling Made Simple and most recent book Blockchainopoly: How Blockchain Changes the Rules of the Game. One of Steve’s frequent data modeling consulting assignments is to review data models using his Data Model Scorecard® technique.

We would like to invite you to see what Canberra has to offer. Come and meet people who built or are building blockchain projects in the Capital city. You will be able to find out what it means to actually use the technology and skills you might require as well how hard or easy it is. The projects will be set up to answer any questions and the presentations will start at 17.30pm The projects thus far:Ethitrade:Micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs) are a critical component of the economic fabric in developing economies. Collectively these businesses represent the single largest factor determining the future growth and prosperity of the world’s emerging economies. This sector currently suffers from restricted access to business resources, market information, sales opportunities and financial services. And, notably, from a stark under-participation by women owners. Ethitrade was established to power inclusive economic growth on a global scale.Smart Press:SmartPress, an Australian developer duo just won the $100,000 first prize of the EOS Hackathon Sydney organized by Block.one for the development of a web app built on EOSIO that allows almost everyone, regardless of their coding experience, to design and deploy smart contracts compatible with either new or already existing applications.Omnia Protocol:OMNIA Protocol is empowering individuals with ownership and confidentiality over their data. We are making data more accessible to the parties who value it most through our highly compliant and privacy preserving protocol. OMNIA Protocol is the gateway to a new age of privacy preserving applications.PesaMill/CharlyPay:Pesamill is not just an exchange. It is a peer to peer cryptocurrency exchange where users can buy and sell cryptocurrency to and from each other, in a secure, fast and trusted way. CharlyPay is a cross border payment system streamlining the global remittance and making it more accessible, built on Worbli blockchain.

The energy sector is being disrupted, and with technological change come new opportunities. Who will be the Facebook, Amazon and Uber of the emerging smart energy sector? If you want the answer to be 'you' then come along to the EnergyLab Canberra Hackathon! New energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles and over-the-internet metering and control systems are rapidly becoming cheaper and more ubiquitous. At the same time, there have been great advances in adjacent areas such as artificial intelligence, drones and telecommunications. The convergence of all these trends makes new innovations and business models possible. The EnergyLab Canberra Hackathon is designed to bring people interested in energy innovation together to brainstorm, develop and demonstrate new business concepts.  How it works Inspiration: We'll kick off with a couple quick presentations about problems you might consider solving. Team forming: You can register as a team if you want, but if you're missing a team member or registering as an individual then we'll help you find teammates.  Ideation: Once teams are formed the brainstorming begins!

Teams must contain 2, 3 or 4 people. Teams with 5 or more people in them must break into two or more smaller teams. Individuals can't compete but we will help you find at least one other person to form a team with (see below). I already have teammates, can I just participate with them? Yes! As long as you have at least one other person on your team (and your team doesn't have more than four people in it). I don't know anyone else attending, how will I form a team?  We have your back! We have built in a number of ways for you to meet other people in the same boat and will help you form a team with people you want to spend Saturday with. Before the event you will be invited to a Facebook Group and Friday night will start off with some casual networking over drinks. During the presentations, everyone will introduce themselves so you know who else is looking for team members. During dinner, the organiser will help match individuals together and make sure no one is left out. If you have any questions or concerns please send an email to sarah@energylab.org.au. Can I still participate if I don't have an idea? You can! We'll help your team find something interesting to work on.  Do I have to spend the entire time at The Level? Nope, but we would encourage you to. It's a great venue and we'll provide a constant stream of food and drink. However, if you would be more comfortable elsewhere or have other commitments then you're free to come and go. Please just be back in time for the presentations on Saturday. I have another question, who can I talk to?  Send Sarah an email to sarah@energylab.org.au. About EnergyLab EnergyLab is Australia’s leading platform for launching new energy businesses.
