Hack ideas

For those who would like to join the hackathon but have not yet identified what to work on, we recommend you to keep an eye on the list of hack ideas that are being put forward. If anything catches your attention you can get in touch with the proponent, start discussing it further and eventually form a team. All collected ideas will be pitched by their proponent(s) on the first day of the hackathon.
