About the IoT Hackathon last Friday

Last Friday we went to the IoT Hackathon in Köln and it was a great experience.

Thank you Norbert, Christian, Markus and the whole ZweiDenker team for their generous hospitality: the accommodations where great (beautiful office), the food and drinks super tasty, everybody friendly and welcoming.

Thank you Allex (Oliviera, Inria/RMOD) for running the workshop and for being so patient, friendly and tireless in helping everyone with all aspects of getting experiments up and running.

I knew about PharoThings [1] and TelePharo [2] before, but actually using it in practice to experience connecting software and hardware felt a bit like magic. Thank you Denis (Kudriashov) and Inria/RMOD for developing these packages.

Great video guys!

The only think I wonder when I saw hackathon and technical videos in general is when/how we will get more diversity represented in the participants (ethnicities, ages, gender), but of course this is a hard open question that we all need to solve.

Cheers,

To get a better impression we made an image film of the event. Now the 4K version is available on youtube.

And if the video came from an event is in Latin America we would have mostly young and mature Latino males, as we are also struggling in gender and other kinds of inclusiveness. The diversity problem is a big one.

For an event like this which is one day long people won‘t arrive from far. So it is expected to see most people being caucasian.

Hackathons usually attract more young people I guess. We are working on the gender but is still not easy as it just started that women come back to the industry.

But I agree that diversity is something support.
