Krakaton

Krakaton is a hackathon aimed at building applications that can help people in our region. We will use new IBM cloud solution called Bluemix (https://bluemix.net) which is PaaS and SaaS platform for building and running your apps.

These can be apps that help to track pollution, or help to gather people with similar hobby... But you are encouraged to provide ideas which may be a change for people in Malopolska.

The main prize for the best team/application are 2 tablets Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (10,1 inch) with LTE. Also there are gadgets for all participants.
