Contact organisers if you need a data repository to share data with all your team members. If the project is already underway, prepare an introduction to it so that people can join (if you're presenting slides, send them to us before you arrive), and make sure the task you propose is feasible during the time of the event, and describe the skills you expect your team to have: R or Python? AWS, Spark? etc. for final presentations : Start writing the final presentation right from the start and add elements little by little all day long. Recall the context of the project and articulate the presentations to make it understandable by the non-initiated public around you. If you wish your work will be published on the website datasciencehongkong.com with your bio, name, etc. Other details 50 participants max Food/drink : Only water, coffee and tea are provided. Attendees can order their own food to the venue, take a break to find a restaurant in Kennedy Town or bring their own lunch. Price: 50 HKD. We charge a fee to cover venue and food costs.

Civic Hacking，毋忘初衷。召集所有共建社區的面孔。成為共工或共筆，為你的公民計劃注入新的能量吧！我們重視的是對社會的impact，以及公民平等參與，平等分享。    你有想法，但無從入手？來涉起衫袖，一齊做吧！ g0vhk.io 第一次Hackathon  日期︰2018年6月23日（TBC) 時間︰13：00－19：30 地點︰旺角彌敦道380號逸東酒店一樓1/f Eaton Hotel, 380 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong 地圖︰ https://goo.gl/maps/T32WGTHti7F2 如何前往︰ http://www.eatonhongkong.com/tc/maps-and-directions 查詢︰info@opencultures.life info@g0vhk.io 我們是甚麼 －有意思既計劃，一齊落水做 －我有不足，需要人互補所長 我們不是甚麼 －「我黎睇下架咋」／「我幫下手架咋」 (你應該思考自己的takeaway是甚麼。我們不鼓勵自我剝削和犧牲）   －「我想搵人幫手免費做野」  －我間公司想搵免費Solution  -我想聽Talk 是次題目 g0vhk.io 黑客松目的為透明開放源碼項目開發，由政治數據例如立法會議員數據 (https://goo.gl/DoXsmk) 到醫院急症室輪候時間數據 (https://goo.gl/ND4gwd)，都是與市民息息相關的資訊，公民黑客利用技術或非技術方法令不同範疇的政府及公眾機構的數據透明化，擴大公民的知情權。透過是次黑客松提高大眾對開放數據的關注，促進開源碼開發者和熱心關注社會的市民之間的交流從而壯大公民社會。 甚麼是Hackathon ?  Hackathon一詞由Hack加上Marathon組成⋯旨在於一段時間內持續一起完成程式設計等等工作。發展至今天，hackathon已不局限於IT業界人士參與，它能連結起不同議題、更多地加入不同領域的專才，共同運用科技開發專案，為各式各樣的議題開闢嶄新路向。 Hackathon的運作模式是參加者於一段短時間內，可以是一天內完成或是數天通宵進行，主辦單位會為參加者提供場地，參加者帶同手提電腦到達會場，並挑選自己感興趣的議題自由組隊，在會場內交流及分享意念、利用各種科技資源創作出全新的計劃、專案以至產品，並需在活動最後的匯報時間向其他參加者介紹自己的成果。 Hackathon是一種鼓勵參加者通過緊密互動、合作達致創新的過程，理念是希望建立一個能讓技術及意見得到自由交流的平台。在限時之內創作及發佈的框架底下，參加者能夠在特殊的合作模式中盡可能激發自己的解難能力，在討論與碰撞之間併發出意念的火花。而在互動過程中，參加者能以完全自主的形式，按自己與合作伙伴所制訂的意向去開發專案，同時間，在會場內各人能自由的與隊伍以外，或是不同議題的參加者互相分享，這一種跨議題、跨專業的交流活動能促使專案或是策略本身更容易打破固有既定的框架發展，從而探索無限的新可能性，所以hackathon對於很多程式設計者及各界別的專業人士來說有其獨特的吸引力。 在世界各地，一些跨國企業如Yahoo、Microsoft、Facebook以及知名學府如MIT及Princeton University都曾舉辦hackathon活動，而台北市政府甚至曾開放市政府大樓讓民眾參與hackathon，可見這種共工模式在世界各地的發展已被廣為採納而且漸趨成熟。 g0vhk.io即將在開放文化站 Station for Open Cultures舉辦Hackathon活動，在各種社會議題上與大家共同探索新路向，不論你是學生、專業人士或一般市民，都歡迎參與。不一定是科技人，可以是善於文字編編、圖像設計都可以出一分力！ 開井（提案）方法︰ 方法一︰偷跑 How to upload a project to the Collaction page?  1.please open an account here https://www.collaction.hk 2. then click 發起項目 3.then fill in the form (remember to click 提交 at the bottom)  4.Go back to the hackathon page  5.Click 提案 6.Select from your projects  方法二︰即場掘井 用白紙用畫筆Present  甚麼叫掘井﹖  坑 (Wells) ︰族人透過開井以回餽萬物，即地球語的項目（projects)； 坑主（Well Owner)︰即召集項目的人 (project owner)； 掘坑 (Digging Wells) ︰即召集一個新項目的動作； 填坑 (Filling the Wells) ︰珍珠人會把珍珠填入井中，為萬物注入能量，使其生生不息地循環。而在群眾協作活動中貢獻才能及資源，不論是活動現場或遙距，皆稱作填坑； 在構想一個解決方法時，你可以先想想你要幫助的人是誰 You might start by focusing on a particular stakeholder group. For example, you might consider how a member of the general public could articulate his or her problems and what are their available means. From the professional’s perspective, you might consider how administrative and operational issues could be addressed. You might be helping non-profits or community organisations that connect the general public with free services. 你的簡介應該含有以下資訊 一句講完你想解決的問題 對你目標群眾有可裨益？ 你在實行期間遇到甚麼困難﹖你預計其他人可以如何幫手﹖ 詳情請看︰ https://g0v.hackpad.tw/g0v--JWIizPuN3mz In the presentation, your team is required to answer three (3) questions:  In one sentence, what problem are you solving and why is this problem important What are the benefits, including returns on investment and time and cost-savings, for your target users?
