Dribdat is an open source (MIT license) project board for splendid collaboration that we use to run this site. Here we collect and showcase all projects from an event in one place, under open conditions. On the event page you can learn about topics, datasets, and any other information the organisers have provided. To form a team, you can login and join or start a project.
All you need is a title to start your project here. Your team members can then click the Join button at the top of your project page to document your creative Pitch using plain text or Markdown. Links to videos, documents, a slideshow hosted on Speaker Deck, and many other supported sites will turn into a live preview.
Alternatively, the Sync feature allows you to connect a Readme from your open content: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Etherpad, Google Docs (Publish to Web), Instructables, HackMD/CodiMD and DokuWiki are supported at this time. You will see a Sync button on your project page for quickly refreshing any changes.
By updating your Progress using the Post button, you can regularly check in your status and any roadblocks. Need more help? Get in touch with the organising team, or raise an issue.
On the front page you can see the upcoming event, as well as any previous events. A short description is followed by a link to the event home page, as well as a countdown of time remaining until the start or finish (if already started) of the hackathon. All of the content on the site, including presentation and the Quickstart above, can be edited by the site administrator in the Admin menu linked in the header if you have access: from where you can edit general details under Events, publish Categories, and edit or sync Projects and Challenges (which are either a Category, or just a project in challenge status).
If you would like to use this platform for your event, contact the organisers of the events listed here and they should be able to help you - or just fork the open source project and set it up to your liking:
There is a simple API for accessing data from this site in machine-readable form. See the README for additional details.
