Have a great idea for innovating data center technologies or want to hack on hardware to seed your company? Then join us for our hardware hackathon at the upcoming OCP U.S. Summit 2015 being held on March 10-11 in San Jose, California.
We will have cash prizes to help you seed your initial idea. In addition to the prize money, the Open Compute Foundation is partnering with a team of angel investors and venture capitalists who will work with you to formulate your initial idea into a business plan.
Winners will present their hacks and receive their prizes on stage during OCP U.S. Summit 2015.
Hackathon seating is limited to 50 people. Everyone who registers and participates in the OCP U.S. Summit Hackathon will receive a special OCP Hackathon t-shirt. We ask that once you register for the hack, you participate in the entire hack, which will last 8-12 hours over the course of the two-day summit.
The OCP Hardware Hack will consist of 2 tracks;the first track will encompass all active hardware projects under the Open Compute Project; the second track is allows you to hack on hardware that is outside of the existing active OCP projects.
What we will provide:
As in previous hacks we will provide a set of components and tools at the hack. We encourage you to bring with you any tools (software or hardware) or components that are necessary for your idea.
Things you and your organization will need to do prior to the Hackathon:
