The resulting presentations are here! Presentations from Hackathon


A CSPA Hackathon will be held in Geneva on 22 June, as part of the Workshop on CSPA Implementation. This page is for developing ideas amongst the hackathon group, and communicating with the wider CSPA community and was built from the notes of the web conference on 8 June:

The goal is that each hackathon group presents a deliverable to the CSPA workshop plenary on the 2nd day.  It would ideally be something working or complete, or be at a solid milestone with a proposal for future work. Services should include at least a draft definition and specification.  In each presentation, it would be good for the groups to summarise (very briefly indeed) what went well; any obstacles the group found; and how CSPA could be improved to remove the obstacles.  

To start the hackathon, Franck Cotton will make a short demo on how to wrap some R functionality (e.g. Linear Regression) as a CSPA service.  The software will be Eclipse and Java, though the principles will be the same for any software.  

Here is the online tutorial: http://apps.scfe.eu/regression/

Please use the following board to prepare for the hackathon.  We can use it like this:

  • The subpages can be used to brainstorm before the hack and as a whiteboard during the day;
  • Don't be restricted by these initial ideas, feel free to add another idea to the board if it is not covered by editing the page, edit the "Canvas Board" and add a control;
  • You can express an early interest in participating in a deliverable by clicking on the + sign, choose "Add Card" and type your name.  I've added an example with the name "Joe Bloggs"
