About

The Open NetSci Hackathon is an event sponsored by PLOS. It is part of the extended program of the 14th International School and Conference on Network Science (NetSci 2019).

The goal of the Hackathon is to promote open research practice in Network Science. For the first edition, the theme will be open code and data.

We hope to make the hackathon a perfect venue for getting together, and hacking away at fun projects in a laid-back, friendly environment.

General information

Where?

We are excited to hold the Open NetSci Hackathon at the Generator Maker Space, in Burlington, Vermont. The Generator Maker Space is a combination of artist studio, classroom, and business incubator at the intersection of art, science, and technology. It hosts the Reckless Idea Lecture Series, a Vermont Complex Systems Center initiative.

How to join?

Anyone registered for the NetSci 2019 School and Satellites can join the Hackathon, free of charge! Reserve your spot by registering for the event. Prearranged teams and solo participants are both welcomed.

Logistics

Please refer to the NetSci website for housing and transportation. Light breakfast and snacks will be served at the event. Lunch on Saturday will be at the discretion of participants. There are inexpensive lunch options close to the venue.

When?

The Open NetSci Hackathon consists of one day and a half of low pressure hacking, on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of May, the weekend that precedes the NetSci 2019 conference. We will stop early on Sunday so that participants may also attend the SYNS Warm-up event.
