Grenfell Tower Support Hackathon 2.0

As a follow-up to our recent Grenfell Tower Support Hackathon, which led to the launch of the Grenfell Support app (Android and iOS), we are running another hack in collaboration with Add Jam, to take forward some new solutions.

We have been in regular contact with a number of the heroic volunteers, who have been providing much needed daily support to those affected. Additional tech solutions would help them improve their operations on the ground by facilitating better communication and collaboration. We are exploring with the volunteers the types of solutions which may be most beneficial, and will share details of these with participants either before or at the start of the event.

We're also exploring ways we can assist more generally (e.g. for those giving advice to those affected), so all ideas and projects are welcome. Feel free to use the discussion board to share any of your own ideas, or links to code or other projects which might be helpful.

Everyone can make a valuable contribution, be that development, research, legal, design, marketing or anything else. You don't need programming skills to get involved, although we do need developers to build the tech.

Feel free to bring a team (please ensure you each sign up individually though, to keep track of numbers) or come along on your own and we will connect you with some friendly Legal Hackers.

We hope to see you there!

A huge thanks to our sponsors, Peloton Communications, Cloch Solicitors, and Encompass Corporation. There will be beer and pizzas thanks to these guys!

Grenfell Tower Support Hackathon - Glasgow City Centre, 24 + 25 June 2017

This weekend, we are uniting non-techies and techies alike, to show our support to those affected by the Grenfell Tower disaster. All skill-sets welcome! The aim of the hackathon is to rapidly scope and prototype solutions to help with the ongoing response and assistance.

Everyone can make a valuable contribution. In particular, we need people who can research and collate information on the support on offer, to help us finalise a mobile app we are aiming to deploy imminently.

We have also begun brainstorming other ideas, and would love to get some more solutions built during the weekend based on yours too.

There’s plenty of opportunity for some machine learning, text processing and data mining to cluster, categorise and curate important information from social media and make it more easily found by those who need it.

We hope to see you there!
