After the successful Hackathons in Gothenburg and Cologne the DDI Developers Group is organizing its third Hackathon at the University of Applied Sciences in Chur (Switzerland) from Thursday December 5th till Friday December 6th 2024 in the rooms surrounding and within the Campus Brewery of this location (Building D, Comercialstrasse 20, Chur). This event is directly following the European DDI Users Conference (EDDI) in the same week. Therefore, we believe some participants could already be at the location saving travel costs. Hotel information can also be found on the EDDI webpage.
https://www.eddi-conferences.
Please note that EDDI and the DDI Developers Hackathon are two seperate events though they take place at the same location after each other. You must register for both events if you want to participate.
If you are a developer, software engineer or programmer using or implementing tools around the DDI suite of metadata standards this event might be the chance to exchange ideas with similar people plus during the two days we would like to create some prototypical software implementations of current pain points or needed features for DDI tools.
If you are engaged in DDI related work (e.g. in working groups or any of the boards) you are welcome to submit challenges (i.e. implementation ideas) for the participating hackers, even if you do not participate in person.
The event is sponsored by the DDI Alliance and the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FHGR) which will provide catering and the location for the whole event. For a limited number of people also sponsorships for travel costs can be provided if the member organizations cannot sponsor it.

During the event there will be a Hackathon Bar which provides snacks and drinks for the participating hackers at all times. Additionally there will be lunch and dinner served at fitting times during the implementation phases so hackers can fully concentrate on their tasks. The event will also start with a welcome dinner on Wednesday evening and end with a thank you dinner on Friday evening. As a special the Campus Brewery will also provide craft beers especially brewed for this event. All catering will be free of cost.
The results from the Hackathon will be available as Open Source software under a license (e.g. MIT, LGPL) which will allow the use in other Open Source projects as well as commercial products.
We hope to re-create some lasting interest for more IT-related topics within the DDI community. Therefore we are happy for every developer, software engineer, programmer or DevOps person who can make it to Chur. Of course we are also happy about any new member who would like to join our steadily growing DDI Developer group.
Best Regards
