Where: Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany 

Join the BrAPI community for a week of fun as we hack code together and discuss the future of BrAPI. This event will be April 15-19, 2024 in Wittenberg, Germany. Everyone in the BrAPI community is welcome! Please register to receive meeting invitations and other important information.

Overview 

The BrAPI Community Hackathon is an event focused on bringing together the BrAPI community. This weeklong event will reserve time for the members of the community to discuss the BrAPI specification, collaborate on projects, socialize and learn from each other. The hackathon is largely self-organizing project work time, with a few scheduled public discussion sessions addressing important community topics. The overall goal is to be as productive as possible in a small window of time, to explore ideas and start on collaborative projects that can be more formally developed after the event.

Registration

Registration for this event is required for ALL attendees. If you are even considering attending, please register as soon as possible. Last minute cancellations are much preferred over last minute additions. This helps the organizers get an accurate attendees count for the event as early as possible. 

Question: Should I still register if I plan on attending remotely? 
Yes! One of the options on the registration form is used to indicate whether or not you will be participating in-person. Remote attendees still need to register so we can contact you about the hackathon, know what projects or teams you are working on, and know which discussion topics you are most interested in. 

Question: What if I don't know yet if I will be attending in-person or remotely? 
If you don't know yet if you will be in-person, there is an option in the registration form for exactly that scenario. If you register with the "I Don't Know Yet" option selected, an organizer will follow-up with you later to confirm. Event organizers can also work with you directly to help resolve any issues that might be keeping you from attending in-person. 

Travel Grants

There are a small number of travel grants available to help those who would not be able to travel otherwise. Again, as part of the registration form, there is an option to request "travel support". As soon as you register with a request for travel support, an event organizer will contact you directly and help you through the necessary steps to apply for a travel grant. 

Question: Who can apply for a travel grant? 
Anyone in the BrAPI community can apply for a travel grant. There is a tentative restriction on multiple people from the same organization being awarded travel money. This is to try to even spread the money to as many organizations as possible, and can be overridden if there is a good reason. 

The BrAPI is supported by de.NBI / ELIXIR-DE.
