The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based charity that works to put the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of young people regularly use our free, detailed, and engaging educational resources to learn computing and digital making skills. To reach even more young people, especially in communities that may not yet have access to high-quality computing education, we need to translate these resources into a wide variety of languages. To celebrate International Translation Day on 30 September, we are organising a translation hackathon at our headquarters in Cambridge, where we hope to bring together the wonderful people of Cambridge to help us translate as many of our educational resources as possible. Please join us if you speak fluent English and another language, and have some basic knowledge of Python, HTML, and/or Scratch. You don’t need any translation experience — our translation team will provide you with help and support. Together, we can break down the language barriers in computing education.

It is a competition that gathers programmers with different skill sets to work collaboratively, on a software project, which creatively solves various problems on a given topic.

Please, consult the web page to see who’s the main organiser of the hackathon you are interested in. What should I build?The general theme of the Global Travel Hackathon is sustainability, accessibility and community in the world of travel.  In order to participate, do I need to stay for the whole 24 hours?We don't force anyone but we higly recommend that to enjoy the time to the top. Is there a hashtag? Yes, it’s #HackTravel. Can I get support to travel to a hackathon? We do not provide travel support to attend a hackathon of your choice. You are free to organize a hackathon in your city by yourself – if you would like to, let us know here. How big can my team be?From two to four people. Can I get a head start on my hack?To ensure a level playing field for all participants, all code and assets must be created during the hackathon. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the offending team's disqualification. Nevertheless, feel free to make plans, create wireframes, and brainstorm ahead of the event. Can I use external APIs, services, and SDKs?You are encouraged to use any 3rd party services, APIs, open-source projects, libraries, and frameworks as long as they are publicly available on the web.

PATIENTS AS PARTNERS - EMPOWERED PATIENTS INFLUENCING CHANGE RAREsummit19 is a 1 day summit focusing on patient centricity in rare disease - mastery, opportunities and trends in the drug development process, healthcare and assistive technologies. View the full RAREsummit webpages here  Join 250 attendees, 26 speakers and 32 exhibitors to discuss which are the most pertinent challenges and innovative solutions in ensuring patients are valued and essential partners. A highlight of the rare disease calendar - can you afford to miss out? What if? What if we were able to share information with the power to revolutionise the current rare disease landscape? What if we could provide solutions to patients now, answering their pressing questions about their disease, care, and treatment? What if we could ensure that patients and advocates played an equal and vital role in the development of drugs, assistive technologies, and healthcare? Rare disease patients and their families are tired of waiting for answers and the slow pace of change. They want to be involved and share their lived experiences to help companies, researchers and healthcare professionals find answers and solutions. Hear from,  learn from and engage in cross-sector activities with a range of stakeholders: patients; patient advocacy groups; researchers; health care professionals and companies who are leading the way in pioneering partnerships to accelerate change. Join us at the Wellcome Genome Campus: a hub of life-changing science. We think it's the perfect venue to make progress for rare diseases. THE HACKATHON CHALLENGE The day will culminate in a  ‘hackathon’ activity.  So what's a hackathon? In a nutshell, cross-sector delegate teams will work together to explore what matters to you and what matters the most. "We need a national debate on rare diseases to offer the best possible care". Cambridge Rare Disease Network welcomes Baroness Nicola Blackwood to deliver a speech to usher in our cross-sector hackathon "What matters to you. What matters most?" The minister, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care, recently said "I want to lead a national conversation on rare diseases, and how we care better for people. We want to talk to staff, patients, experts and researchers...to capture views on the big strategic issues that affect you." At RAREsumit hackathon we'll be giving delegates the opportunity, in cross-sector teams, to 'identify common themes and proposals to help develop the vision for a post-2020 rare disease framework'. Your thoughts and priorities will be shared with the Minister as a report following. Will you be there to have your say? Selected teams will have the opportunity to pitch their idea on stage.  We aim for delegates to be inspired to develop this cross-sector approach with patients as equal and vital partners. NETWORKING and COLLABORATION During an extended lunch, delegates enjoy networking and browsing charity, healthcare and company stands and a patient journey poster exhibition. For our summit 2017, 52 patient journey posters were created by various rare disease patient groups and individuals. Some of these will be displayed along with a new collection.  The day will close with a complimentary drinks and canapes reception where delegates can enjoy networking, reflecting on their day and developing partnerships for the future.

We are increasingly losing control of our personal information by placing ownership of data in the hands of just a few. History has shown us time and time again how problematic centralization is, and today, monolithic power structures have dominated the infrastructure of the web, turning open networks into a place where information and freedom of speech are vulnerable to censorship and loss. In response to the increasing centralization of the web, Arweave is on a mission to build a new web -- the permaweb. The permaweb is a decentralized, immutable new web, built on top of a globally distributed, permanent hard drive -- the Arweave network. We want the decentralized permaweb to be accessible to everyone, but we want you to be a part of making that a reality. That’s why we’re looking for talented developers to build decentralized apps on the permaweb.
