|
||
<p>By <em>awesome hackathon platforms</em>, we mean web or mobile
|
||
applications that are specifically designed to run a hackathon, or which
|
||
have effectively adapted for use in events of this type. They typically
|
||
allow organizers to announce the schedule and topics, register
|
||
participants, and document the results.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="open-source">Open Source 🌳</h3>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>These can be run with a cloud provider or self-hosted, to take full
|
||
control of the data. Being open source efforts, they typically embrace
|
||
open standards. Several are developed by non-profits and volunteer
|
||
communities.</p>
