Workshops
Track 1: HSL and their open data
Do you want to have an impact in the city you live in? Together with HSL, we are hosting a track where you get to learn what data HSL has to offer for developers to build solutions that affect them and their immediate living environment.
Track 2: codebar
We've been active in the local codebar community that helps people who belong to underrepresented groups in tech to learn programming and get into the industry. Their website and event management system is open source and during this track, you have an opportunity to work on improving that with the guidance of codebar organizers.
Track 3: Accessibility tools
At Futurice, we have people who care about accessibility. As part of our on-going work to improve our own work in building more accessible products and services, there are multiple open source tools being built to assist in that. Join this track to join the collaborative effort to make them better so we can all make accessible services in the future.
