Day 15 of PETALS advent 🎄
Hackathon time means:
– quick team forming
– messy ideas
– zero time for perfection
So how do you actually get aligned before you divide and conquer?
#Hackathons
A concise guide to the most common hackathon mistakes from bad planning to team conflicts, and how to avoid them for a stronger pitch and better final results. https://hackernoon.com/how-not-to-hackathon-the-hackathon-anti-pattern-guide #hackathons
🎙️In this week's #WGHpodcast episode, the final one of Series 4 and 2025, Carl Storms & John Pierson are sticking with the vibe coding train, but take a quick side quest into hackathons and the early days of vibe coding before AI showed up.
We get into the chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived world of hackathons and how they’ve shifted with AI in the mix. Carl and John trade stories, look at the gap between old-school maker culture and today’s AI-driven workflows, and talk about why hackathons are more welcoming than ever.

Voici des idées partagées afin de trouver des contributeurs motivés à traiter ces sujets avec moi.
J'espère un partage massif de ce message car les sujets sont très intéressants et méritent pour des personnes expérimentés ou débutantes avec une bonne connaissance des environnements de devs.

Our November Deep Dive explored #RebootTheEarth - #opensource #hackathons where young programmers and developers build climate solutions together.
A huge thanks to Mithusa Kajendran and Omar Mohsine of the #UnitedNations for sharing the program's origins and evolution.
We’re also very grateful to Tom Hughes of the #CMU #OSPO for sharing learning on recent Reboot events co-hosted by #CMUAfrica and #TheUpanzinziNetworkatCMUAfrica in Kigali; and #CMUQatar in Doha.

Concluding my week on Friday with an online international event by @cecop_coops on how coop federals can support innovative coop startups. I’ll be talking about @cooperativesuk #Hackathons and our work on #platformcoops via #unfound.
#Hackathons with judges and winners is doing it wrong.
Most of them are doing it wrong.
Do a prototype forum and let your peers nerd out about your hack. That recognition is already worth it. Reward everyone for participation.
En fait, pleins de #hackathons partout me sembleraient une excellente manière d'impliquer des pans entiers de la population dans le développement #technopolitique de notre société, tout en favorisant leur instruction sur ces sujets, instruction qu'ils n'ont pas forcément reçu à l'école. Ça pourrait devenir une forme moderne des fora philosophiques, publics et ouverts à tous, de la Grèce antique.
:newl: Parce que oui, le gras c'est la vie et la ɡʁɛs, la culture! Vives les gros #geeks! :newr:
Y aller nombreux permettrait aussi de montrer à la #Confédération et aux #cantons que les gens se préoccupent réellement de notre #démocratie et de ce que la #technologie peut lui faire, en bien comme en mal, selon les logiques qui gouvernent sa conception, sa fabrication et sa mise en oeuvre. J'aimerais que l'on organise d’autres #hackathons sur le #DossierÉlectroniqueDuPatient , par exemple, qui piétine complètement, parce que personne n'en veut ni ne sait ce qu'il y a dedans.

🌍✨ #nextGEMS is coming to an end – but our journey has only just begun.
After four incredible years, the Horizon 2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems project is wrapping up. Together, we set out to make kilometre-scale global #ClimateSimulations a reality — and we did it.
💡 None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community:
▪️ Scientists from across the globe, pushing the boundaries of climate #modelling.
▪️ Industry and policy stakeholders, helping us connect our science to real-world needs.
▪️ Our organisational team, keeping everything on track.
▪️ LATEST THINKING (lt.org) and all the talented #ScienceCommunicators and visual creators who helped share our story.
From Hamburg to Madrid, our #hackathons became so much more than coding sessions — they were spaces to #collaborate, to socialise, to co-create, and to inspire each other.
We are deeply grateful for the friendships made, the knowledge shared, and the breakthroughs achieved. And we’re excited to watch, in the years ahead, how nextGEMS will continue to shape #ClimateScience, #adaptation planning, and the digital twins of the future.
💪 Let’s keep building on this momentum. Let’s keep working together — across disciplines, sectors, and borders — to tackle the challenges of our changing climate.

🧠 How Hackathons Build Better #ClimateResearch Communities – A New #PolicyBrief
Our final #nextGEMS Policy Brief is here—and it brings a fresh perspective: “Building User Communities around Next-Generation Earth System Models.”
While our first brief focused on bridging science and society, this one looks inward: How do we design research projects that foster #collaboration, creativity, and real-world #impact
Drawing on experiences from the series of nextGEMS #hackathons, the brief shows how these spaces:
- Enable peer learning across disciplines and expertise levels
- Spark new scientific collaborations and networks
- Offer #CoCreation formats that build trust and shared ownership of climate model development
🏛️ Aimed at the EU’s research and innovation community—especially those who design, fund, or manage large projects—this brief offers practical recommendations:
- Embed collaborative events into project design
- Create intentional structures that support long-term #community-building
- Focus on the societal relevance of scientific outputs from day one
These insights go beyond nextGEMS: they speak to the future of climate research itself.

🌍 “What makes #nextGEMS unique is its inclusivity.”
For Dragana Bojovic (BSC), that means more than diversity—it’s about building a space where climate scientists, social scientists, communication experts, early-career researchers, and professors work side-by-side to create knowledge with society, not just for it.
In our new video, “Thriving on collaboration, openness, and the co-creation of knowledge for a better future”, Dragana shares how nextGEMS fostered inclusivity through:
⬛ #Hackathons – from hands-on climate data exploration to society-oriented workshops on themes like the energy transition
⬛ #SocialNetworkAnalysis – studying how collaborations form and evolve during these events
⬛ #Storyline co-creation – bringing ministries, renewable energy reps, and scientists together to design climate-resilient futures
⬛ #ScienceExplainers & #PolicyBriefs – translating research into action
The result? A vibrant, interdisciplinary community that Dragana hopes will thrive well beyond the project’s lifetime.

Apparently, working at Vercel is all about scaling headcounts, throwing #buzzwords, and attending #hackathons 📈🎉. Remember folks, always respond to work tweets during your honeymoon 🌴💍—because nothing says "work-life balance" like mixing beachside bliss with corporate hustle! 😂

Meet the 'Vibe Coder' who's winning SF hackathons without knowing how to code 🎯
Rene Turcios has cracked the code (pun intended) - he uses ChatGPT to build projects in hours while traditional coders spend weeks. Plot twist: businesses are now hiring him over CS grads. Welcome to the prompt engineering era! 🤖
