Here is some advice and information for your participation in the Hackfest.
For data sets, code, details of the hackfest, etc go to https://github.com/NICTA/fsdf-hackfest/wiki.
To enable fast and easy collaboration at the Hackfest, NICTA has set up a GitHub organisation under the name “?????”. We assume you already own a GitHub account, so this should get you started quickly.
To jointly work on a repository under “fsdf-hackfest”:
- Ask a Hackfest organiser to add you as a participant to the organisation.
- Decide what you want to code on.
- Create a new repository or fork an existing open source repository into the organisation through the GitHub Website.
- Clone the repository to your laptop and start hacking.
Although NICTA supports and organises the FSDF Enviro-Hackfest, NICTA does not claim ownership or control of the code in any GitHub repositories created under this GitHub organisation if that code was created by coders who are neither NICTA staff nor NICTA students.
The creation of the WebRTCSydneyHackfest GitHub organisation is merely a means to simplify collaboration and to have a record of the outcome of the Hackfest. So if you are external to NICTA, you can be confident that NICTA will not claim ownership of the IP rights of the code that you contribute.
We suggest that your Hackfest team should discuss and choose a popular open source license for your new repository such as the BSD, Apache or MIT license, e.g. http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html.
If you clone an existing open source repository, it may be necessary for you to stick with the existing license which is associated with that codebase.
We also suggest you add the names of all contributors in a copyright statement co-located with the code.
