<h2>Devon Energy Hackathon 2019 - #HauntedHack</h2><p></p><p>Please join us for the Devon Energy Hackathon. The event will focus on solving real problems experienced in the oil and gas sector related to drilling and unconventional completions. Teams, between two to five members, will work on a Devon-provided -or- bring-your-own problem.  On the final day, teams will give live demonstrations, science-fair-style.</p><p></p><h3>What is a hackathon? It sounds illegal.</h3><p></p><p>A hackathon is a problem-solving event where people from different disciplines get together to generate ideas and solutions to real-world problems. A hackathon involves creating software to implement these solutions.</p><p></p><h3>I&#x27;m not familiar with the oil and gas industry, so I won&#x27;t have good solutions to the problems. Why should I sign up?</h3><p></p><p>Often, the most creative solutions to problems come from a fresh perspective, or the adaptation of an adjacent industry practice. Don&#x27;t sell yourself short! You’ll be part of a team, and there will be subject matter experts on hand to explain the problems and answer any questions you have.</p><p></p><h3>I work for a competitor to Devon Energy. Can I still participate?</h3><p></p><p>Absolutely! Hackathons bring out the best ideas from everyone. The results from this event will be publicly shared, with the intent to spur innovation throughout the oil and gas industry.  In order to participate, teams must agree to post their source code and solutions to a public GitHub repository and release it under the MIT open-source license.</p><p></p><h3>When is the event?</h3><p></p><p>The event is Oct. 28 through Oct. 30 at Devon Energy Center, 333 W. Sheridan, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102. See the FAQ for more information. Participants will need to arrange for their own overnight accommodations. Devon Energy Center will close the on-site portion of the hackathon at 5:00 p.m. Central time on Oct. 28 and 29.</p><p></p><h3>How do I sign up?</h3><p></p><p>Click the “Register” button to sign up.
