Submission and Presentation Instructions (IMPORTANT!)
Hello hackers! We're nearing the end of the 2018 Putnam Hackathon and there are some things you should be preparing for!
1.) You must submit something through DevPost. Detailed submission instructions below!
2.) All code must be in the 2018 Hackathon Git group (if applicable). Each team has a repo setup there. Ask Bill or Ana for the link if needed.
3.) Demos will start at 9:30am on Wednesday and your team will have 3 minutes to demo and 2 minutes for the judges to ask questions. These timings are strict. Please no PPTs, just demo your work. Connect via WebEx and be ready to share your screen. We will not be switching cables for presenting. Teams will go in the order defined in the Team Formation document in Sharepoint. Ask Bill Wanamaker for access to the doc if you do not already have it.
4.) Dinner at 5pm on the second floor! To go containers will be available!
Devpost Submission Guide
Hello Putnam Hackathon Team Members! Devpost, after allowing us to put our internal hackathon publicly on their site, as linked here, they asked us to post output content for the Hackathon on Devpost, rather than just have it sit as a hub of our Hackathon. It’s important to know we made things and finished our work on our projects and show that it was a success!
With this in mind, we need to submit content per team on Devpost. Teams should follow this template for submissions:
Title: A brief hook for your project, at a high level. A lot of projects are submitted as ideas earlier on, but try to keep the summary to 10 words or less, and not contain a Putnam-specific context. If your project is “Putnam Digital Platform Microsoft Teams Notification Pipeline”, then on Devpost you’d put something like “Notification Pipeline for Putnam Services
Images: Do not put images of your project on Devpost
Code submissions: DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR CODE ON DEVPOST. Your code is managed through our internal gitlab servers in your team-assigned Hackathon repository, and should not live anywhere else.
Description: Your project deserves a meaningful description on devpost. If content is particularly proprietary, do not share it. If the idea that you are working on is revolutionary or particularly innovative, be as vague as possible. If the project is more of a mainstream idea that Putnam has not yet implemented, feel free to share to the world. Make sure to share a list of technologies/tools you used, especially open source ones!
