Hack The Stacks

Repository for AMNH's 2016 Hackathon, Hack The Stacks!

The root directory of this repository contains data, documents, and images that are general purpose and could pertain to multiple challenges. Challenge specific data, documents, and images can be found under the challenges directory in a subdirectory with the same name as that challenge. Cloning this repository will give you local copies of all source files involved with all challenges that are not available on hard drives at the event (see organizers or librarians for details).

Check out this year's hackathon infographic and see the 2015 infographic!

In addition, invited members of the press may be present at the event and may also film or photograph the event and the participants. By participating in Hack the Stacks, you agree to be filmed or photographed for these purposes.

Participants' Creations. The purpose of Hack the Stacks is to showcase the role computer science plays in scientific research and to develop open-source tools and apps for the advancement of science. The projects created by Hack the Stacks participants will use publicly-available Museum databases and other open-source resources. Participants agree to publish all works created at Hack the Stacks in publicly-available databases or websites and to permit others to access and use these works on a royalty-free, non-commercial basis. If you wish to make commercially-viable solutions, please consider attending another event. Participants additionally agree not to disrupt other participants' work at Hack the Stacks, or use content being created by other participants without express consent.

You agree that any original work you create is freely available without restriction or is licensed as open source as defined by the Open Source Initiative. If you do not specify a specific OSI compliant license in your repository, your works will be considered released under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

No Self-Promotion. Hack the Stacks is a creative and educational event, and is not a forum for business development or promotion. Participants may not engage in promotion of themselves or their businesses, including networking unrelated to Hack the Stacks challenges, distributing printed materials or branded merchandise of any kind, pitching a business or idea that is unrelated to Hack the Stacks challenges, or any form of transactional or sales activity, whether or not money is involved.

No Harassment. The Museum does not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, or status as a special disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era. Sexual language and imagery, or any other potentially harassing material or behavior including but not limited to verbal comments, intimidation, inappropriate physical contact or unwelcome sexual attention, are not permitted at Hack the Stacks and may not be incorporated into the demos or presentations. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately and to not repeat their behavior, or may be required to leave Hack the Stacks, in the Museum's sole discretion. If a participant is being harassed, notices that someone else is being harassed, or has any other concerns, he or she should immediately contact a member of Hack the Stacks staff, who will promptly address any such complaints.

No alcohol or other controlled or illegal substances of any kind will be allowed at Hack the Stacks (excluding alcohol served as part of the event or medications taken at the direction of a physician). Possession of any such substances will result in immediate expulsion from Hack the Stacks, and any participant who appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of any such substance will be asked to leave the event immediately for the health and safety of all participants.
