Participants and Team 

There are no limitations on the number of participants or teams.  There are also no limitations on the number of members in a team although for productivity reasons, we do recommend to limit yourself to 4-6 team members.

Important

It is assumed that teams will use their own development environment for the duration of the hackathon. Terminal will not provide any software licenses or tools aside from giving teams access to a GitHub repository in which they can store their project.

Considering that the intent of this hackathon is to provide immediate support for the Covid-19 crisis, the following rules apply with respect to ideas/projects submitted:

Prior to submitting their projects, teams must ensure that their project:

• Addresses a current challenge emerging from the Covid-19 crisis or from the ripple effects expected post-crisis  
• Fits one of the overall themes of the hackathon (stated above)
• Is sufficiently tested and free of defects
• Is fully functionable; prototypes will not be accepted
• Can be deployed in production quickly and effortlessly
• Is sufficiently documented (see requirements below)
• Provides a user interface and user documentation in English
• Does not violate any third party’s intellectual property and is free of copyrighted material that is not your own or that you do not have the legal right to distribute, display, and otherwise make available to others; content of the project (code and documentation) must represent the team's original work
• Is free of inappropriate or offensive content
• Is not intended for commercial use, i.e it is free for its users and does not contain in-app advertising
• Can be run/used from a web browser (on Mac or Windows platform) or mobile (iOS or Android) - deployment (Apple/Android, Google stores etc) can take place after the hackathon
• Once the application deployed, be available 24/7

Upon submitting the projects, teams must provide the following information: 

• Who is this for (target audience)
• What problem is this addressing
• Short demo video (posted on YouTube, Vimeo or Youku) - maximum length of 3min
• Links to working solution 
• Project documentation / user guides
• Installation instructions where applicable
• Link to source code 
• Technology(ies) used

Projects Use & Intellectual Property

Considering that the goal of this hackathon is to develop production ready and viable solutions to help fight Covid, it is understood that Terminal will make reasonable efforts to promote the use of the winning solutions to their target audience after the hackathon closes.

Non-winning teams are also encouraged to do the same so as to maximize the impact and benefits of this hackathon to the community.

Note that the IP of all projects submitted will remain the sole property of the project team.
