1. BE RESPECTFUL AND EXCELLENT TO OTHER HACKERS

This is, by all means, the most important rule you must abide:

Be respectful and excellent to other hackers.

The Puerto Rico Cuenta Hackathon Organizing team has adopted the Code for America's Code of Conduct and Anti-Harrassment Policy. For more information, please click here.

2. BUILD SOMETHING HERE AND NEW

All projects presented at the Puerto Rico Cuenta Hackathon must be developed during the event.

You are allowed to use frameworks, tools, APIs and open source libraries.  Minimum one Census API or CitySDK needs to be used in your project.

Remember, this isn’t a Powerpoint-athon! A working MVP please.

3. APPLY AN OPEN SOURCE LICENSE

Each project must select an approved open source license. If a project does not specify a particular open source license, the MIT License will be assumed by default.

4. USE GITHUB

As a best practice, you must use a version control software to track your code as you write it.  We encourage GitHub depository for code and community coding.

5. TEAM SIZE LIMIT

The number of members per team is limited to 5. A participant can only belong to one team.

7. HAVE FUN!

Don't stop repeating this: You are at the Hackathon to have fun!

Just have a good time and put your best effort and skills towards your project.

8. SUPER IMPORTANT

No consumption of alcholic beverages and or illegal drugs on premise.
