http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3841 <p>The OHBM 2013 Local Organizing Committee (LOC) announces the <strong>HBM Hackathon</strong>, a meeting-long analysis and resource building competition designed to accelerate the connection between open neuroscience and cloud computing.</p> <p>With support from the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Amazon Web Services, and numerous other contributors, the 2013 meeting in Seattle will include an integrated hack room and associated cloud-computing contest called the HBM Hackathon. The contest will be organized around three Challenges, two of them pre-announced and open to work in advance of the meeting; and one announced at the time of the meeting. Cooperative “hackathon” activity outside of the contest is also encouraged.</p> <p>Integrating ideas from the BrainHack in Leipzig, the spirit of the hackathon is to encourage participation across developers and users alike and will utilize social channels (<a href="https://twitter.com/OHBM">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://github.com/ohbm-seattle/">GitHub</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups/HBM-Hackathon-4957800">Linked-In</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/116295550918624793859">Google+</a>) to collate a group of enthusiasts interested in advancing brain imaging resources by producing more accessible data, more efficient computing and more informative visualization.</p> <p>The hackathon will include a venue on the main poster/exhibit floor space, and prepared cloud-accessible data and software. These resources will be available to participants beginning two months ahead of the meeting, with in-kind support from Amazon Web Services in the form of $100 in cloud computing credits that will be made available to all registered HBM Hackathon participants attending OHBM 2013.</p> <p>Although access to certain resources (e.g., Amazon credits, Github private repo) requires OHBM registration (at least one member per team), the Hackathon itself is open to anyone interested.</p> <p>For more details see the Hackathon Blog: <a href="http://ohbm-seattle.github.io/">http://ohbm-seattle.github.io/</a></p> <p>Register here: <a href="http://humanbrainmapping.org/hackathon">http://humanbrainmapping.org/hackathon</a></p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:54:23 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
