The organizers from the city of Zurich did formulate a specific challenge for these series of hacknights, nevertheless leaving a lot of room for your creativity: What is the optimal location for a certain purpose? So, the overall topic is location-based decision making. Possible solutions can be developed to answer the question of the challenge. The ideas should be designed to help people at large make location decisions intuitively.

Because the challenge is intended to encourage the use of open spatial data of the City of Zurich, you are required to use at least one – but rather more – datasets available via the Open Data Portal of the City of Zurich.

If you want to join the hacknights, please register by using this form.

To participate in the challenge all teams and solos are required to document their projects in this wiki. You can find out how to create a wiki page for your project and get started in the Projects Home.

Participants: make use of these useful resources, listed in our wiki, and join our forum. An announcement pinned in the forum already has people posting ideas and datasets - check it out!

Further resources, that will be presented at the beginning of the 1st hacknight:
