List of hackathons in Riverside, United States in 2017

We are pleased to announce the 9th NDN 2017 Retreat: an opportunity to discuss the application environments, the NDN software platform and testbed, and focus on some specific areas such as security. The retreat itself is on Thursday and Friday, while NDN hackathon will be held on Staturday and Sunday (project signup will be done on Friday afternoon) The primary goals of the retreat are: Gain new insights and ideas for NDN trust and security mechanism in the context of the network environments Find new design directions for the pilot applications in the proposed network environments See active involvement by all attendees We wish to focus our interactions and discussions on making problems of security within the targeted NDN-NP application environments concrete and to find and flesh out application specific security problems. We hope to focus on student interaction and new ideas related to NDN NP applications in a retreat-style setting.  The NDN project uses current and future applications to drive the development and deployment of the architecture and its supporting modules, to test prototype implementations, and to encourage an iterative cycle of hands-on experimentation, evaluation, and design. So, we particularly encourage attendees to prepare in advance of the retreat: install all prerequisites for developing and running NDN applications.

The PCC Computer Science Club in collaboration with She.Codes is hosting a Hackathon on Saturday, November 18th from 10:00AM - 8:00PM in the WIFI Lounge. This is an event for all members of the PCC community to come together and express their creativity through means of technology. The purpose of a Hackathon is to provide a place where people can gather and not only share ideas but act on them. Students will form teams around an idea or problem and collaboratively code a solution from scratch. Note that to come up and implement a great idea takes more than just code so team members are not restricted to just programmers. Throughout the day there will also be workshops, speakers, and of course food! People will create websites, apps, physical prototypes, and more that they will ultimately present to judges and compete for prizes.
