HACK4GOOD was an amazing event which brought world together on a weekend and all started to hack for good reasons. So many enthusiastic amazing people who loves Microsoft Business Applications (MBA’s) team up with passion to create solutions to help the world and lift it up. Building solutions which is to help the communities and people around the world is such a great thing.
I have been part of many hackathons and this was top of my list. It’s amazing to see the ideas which participants bring into the table and how they execute these ideas using the MBA’s. There were over 390 participants from 40 different countries representing all over the globe.
These Solutions are out there in internet and I thought of collecting these solutions and to give away to the community so that someone who sees these solutions can help the communities if they want to build a solution which is like the idea presented by these teams.
It all started by Chris briefing out teams on the #Hack4good. The image shown below captures all the main points he was touching upon.
The agenda was briefed as well.
There were wonderful time zone leads who were helping to arrange this massive hackathon. It’s not an easy task been a leader in these hackathons because you need to be skilled in adopting and being flexible because always the unexpected things happens and you would need to manage it. We should thank all leads for their amazing efforts.
