Hackathon na Gaeilge

*************************************************

CAD IS BRÍ LE HACKATHON ??

Ciallaíonn Hackathon daoine ag teacht le chéile chun teacht ar réiteach ar fhadhb. Tá sé ar nós Dragons Den ach cruthaítear an táirge ar an lá. Beidh daoine ag déanamh é i bhfoirne de cúigear. Ní gá go mbainfeadh sé díreach le teicneolaíocht amháin, fáilte roimh rannpháirtí earraí crua a chuir i bhfeidhm nó fiú an coincheap freisin. Is comórtas é an Hackathon atá déanta laistigh lúibín-ama, 10 n-uair sa cheann seo. Ag an deireadh cuirfidh daoine a dtionscadal i láthair os comhair na moltóirí mar phitseáil agus roghnaífear foireann mar an buaiteoir agus dár ndóigh bronnfar duais orthu.

CAIDÉ AN TÉAMA AGUS AN FÍS AG BAINT LEIS AN HACKATHON SEO ?

Tá muintir láidir a labhraíonn Gaeilge agus muintir le Gaeilge atá sásta seirbhísí a úsáid trí Ghaeilge. An rud atá uainn ná go mbeadh tuilleadh seirbhísí ar fáil trí Ghaeilge a threiseodh an Ghaeilge agus a bheadh úsáideach i gnáth saoil muintir na Gaeilge. Mar atá thuasluaite níl an imeacht seo díreach bunaithe ar an teicneolaíocht ach tá muid ag tnúth leis an teicneolaíocht a bheidh fite fuaite tríd na tionscnaimh uilig.

NÍL ALÁN GAEILGE AGAM AN FÉIDIR LIOM PÁIRT A GHLACADH?

IS FÉIDIR LEAT. Más rud é go bhfuil cúpla focal, Gaeilge bhriste nó go bhfuil Gaeilge líofa agat, beidh fáilte romhat. Is gá Gaeilge a bheith ag duine amháin ar an bhfoireann agus beidh an pitseáil as gaeilge so aimsigh do chara le Gaeilge. Beidh daoine ag siúl timpeall a bheidh lán sásta cuidiú leat maidir le Gaeilge agus ina theannta sin tá neart achmhainní ar an idirlíon.

NÍL MÉ IN ANN CÓDÁIL AN FÉIDIR LIOM PÁIRT A GHLACADH?

IS FÉIDIR LEAT AGUS MOLTAR É. Tá scileanna difriúla ag gach uile duine agus i gcomórtas mar seo tá siad uilig tábhachtach. Is deis é seo do chairde ó gairmeacha éagsúla a tharraing le chéile chun táirge a chruthú agus pitseáil agus do scileanna forbairte a fhorbairt...IONTACH. (Muna bhfuil foireann agat is féidir leat foireann a fháil ansin ar an lá.)

FOIREANN SAMPLACH LE MEASCÁN DAOINE:

1: DUINE Á STÁIDIR GAEILGE: Bheadh an duine seo cabhrach leis an teanga agus friotal an táirge. Nasc leis an ngaeilge agus saol na gaeilge atá acu chun chuir leis an bhfoireann(De gnáth bíonn craic ag baint leo agus is daoine inoiriúnaithe iad).

2: DUINE LE SCILEANNA RÍOMHAIREACHTA: D’fheadfadh an té le scileanna ríomhaireachta teacht as cibé cúlra ach de gnáth is duine ó ríomheolaíocht nó innealtóireacht iad. Is é an duine seo an nasc idir an foireann agus na teangaithe coimhthíocha ríomhaireachta. Fíor úsáideach, oibríonn siad go maith i mbeirteanna agus dheanfadh siad an obair fhorbairte ar fad má tá an táirge bainteach le ríomhairí.

3: DUINE LE SCILEANNA MARGAÍOCHTA: Tógfaidh an duine seo smaoineamh maith go smaoineamh iontach agus cuirfidh siad airgead i do phóca ag deireadh an lae. Is iad na daoine ag iarraidh cuma mhealach ar an táirge. Déanfaidh siad an pitseáil agus cuir i láthair chun tacú leis an táirge.

WHAT IS A HACKATHON ??

A hackathon is a competition where groups of people come together to find new solutions to problems. It is like Dragons Den but the product is created on the day. People will be in teams of up to five people. It does not necessarily have to be about technology alone, participates are welcome to develop a concept or a tangible product. A hackathon is carried out within a time frame, this hackathon will be 10hrs long. At the end people will present their product on front of the judges as a pitch and a team will be picked as the winner of the competition and of course will be presented with a prize.

WHAT IS THE THEME AND VISION OF THIS HACKATHON ?

There are a lot of people who speak Irish daily and a lot of people who want to use services as Gaeilge. The end goal is that there will be more services available in Irish that will strengthen the use of the language and would be useful in everyday life for Irish speakers. As mentioned above this event is not just for coders and about technology but we presume there will be an element of technology associated with all the projects.

I DON’T HAVE MUCH IRISH CAN I TAKE PART ?

YES YOU CAN. Nobody will be judging you on your level of Irish so If you have broken Irish or are have fluent Irish or just have a cúpla focal we would love to see you there. At Least one person on the team must be able to speak Irish and the pitch will be in Irish so find your friend who speaks Gaeilge. Our team will be walking around who will be more than happy to help regarding Irish and also there are loads of great resources on the Internet.

I CAN’T CODE CAN I TAKE PART ?

YES YOU CAN. Everybody has different skills and in a competition like this they are all important. This is an opportunity for your friends from different professions to come together to create a product and pitch it while developing your development skills….GREAT. (If you don’t have a team you can get a team there on the day).

EXAMPLE TEAM WITH A MIX OF PEOPLE:

1)A PERSON STUDYING/STUDIED IRISH: This person will be helpful with the language and wording of the product. They have connections to Irish and know the needs of people who speak Irish (Usually this team member is good craic and is adaptable)

2) A PERSON WITH COMPUTER SKILLS: The one with computer skills can come from any background but are likely to be a Computer Scientist or Engineer. This person is the link between Irish and the alien languages of code. Very useful and they work better in twos or more, they would do the whole development work if your product is based on technology.

3) A PERSON WITH MARKETING SKILLS: This person will take a good idea to a great idea and will put money in your pocket at the end of the day. These are the people who want an enticing appearance on the product. They could deliver a killer pitch as Gaeilge and have a presentation ready to go with it.
