The Hack Code of Conduct is an internationally developed document that attempts to help foster psychological safety at hackathons. This is linked to by default in Dribdat (see below). During the workshop on fair co-creation at DINAcon 2018, we discussed time-bounded collaborative events like hackathons common to many technical communities (image shown above). The Opendata.ch Guidelines are often referred to by hackathon organizers, and contain a summary of basic expectations for open hackdays.

An overview of these various sources can be found at https://github.com/dribdat/docs/wiki/Guidelines

Bringing high-skill refugees and jobs together through diverse hackathon teams

The Hackfinder is a new tool under development at the BFH (DSL / Social Work) as part of a new Innosuisse project. The tool was recently released, and we will share more info (and the source code) by the next DINAcon, as the project gets going in 2025. Here is an alpha preview, with comments and participants welcome:

In this project high-skilled refugees are referred to hackathons, multi-day participatory events where participants work in teams on real-world problems. These events are an opportunity to showcase one’s skills and expand professional networks, hopefully leading to better employment. In this project we test whether, as research would suggest, hackathon participation can really improve employment and income.

This page is for documenting the Linked Data (LD) schema of Dribdat, as well as any other tools that are closely linked to hackathons. Our starting points:

• API documentation of Dribdat
• Dribdat design repository with technical guides
• Hackathons at Schema.org (preview above)
• Validation of Dribdat schema (Basel Hack example)

This image illustrates the main entities in our design:

• Project = Prototype. Event = Sprint.
• Resources are currently a standard Project in a special Event type in Dribdat

Zotero is free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials, such as PDF and ePUB files.

You can browse and join the public library called Awesome Hackathons, managed by us for general interest.

We have a private library which allows attachments, but is invitation-only.
