Ben Hammersley, the San Fransisco based Editor-at-Large for Wired magazine contacted the organisers Gallus Events to offer his support, “What a great idea. Homelessness and rough sleeping are some of society's biggest failings and without a doubt tech companies have a big role to play in alleviating these ills.”

The Homeless Hackathon Edinburgh will bring together:

- Scottish tech and start up community

- Charities and other organisations dedicated to end homelessness in Edinburgh and across Scotland

- Policy makers and think and do tanks

- Local and national politicians
