Winners

talk'n'pick

Daniel Perez, Michi Kanda, Yuya Soneoka, 洸雄 稲垣

talk'n'pick is an application that performs video summarization for busy people. Upon uploading a video via the native iOS application, video processing will be performed on the server side to intelligently remove parts of the video that are less important. It then merges the video back together to create a more compact video. Users can also search for and watch videos uploaded by other users. Braintree v.zero was integrated to accept payments from users who want premium features.

#Purpose
Promotes OSS contributions on github issues through reward-based incentives.

#Detail
Anyone can donate for each specific issue on github. The system accumulates money for each issue and shows them on the github issues page. Anyone who has an authenticated PayPal account can send pull request for the issue and apply for the reward to be accumulated. Sendgrid is used for delivering notifications and receipts once the pull request has been made.

This system motivates potential committers by a little bit of donation, which might cost as little as a glass of beer.

チームCheersのOSS寄付を通じて、GitHubコミッターに愛を届けます!

  • How is the hack structured?

    BattleHacks are full of 24+ hours of awesome stuff. In general, on Day 1 registration opens, you arrive, scope and share skills, create teams, meet judges, and then our gong hits and hacking begins. Add gourmet food, food and more food. Hack through the night, or grab a nap, beer break, and maybe even a massage or two. On Day 2, we have rehearsals, more food, and hack till you hear our gong, signaling the end of hacking! Teams present their apps, judging occurs and prizes are awarded.
    Check your BattleHack City’s registration page for specific timeline details.

  • What can we win?

    Glory! Fame! And oh yeah, you get some other good stuff! First place winners get our epic axe, flight and hotel accommodations to the World Finals in Silicon Valley, and a chance to $100K USD, no strings attached. Fear not, there's a slew of other goodies, and of course local partner prizes, and all our BattleHack swag!

  • Do you own my hack?

    No, this puppy is yours, born and bred from BattleHack love. BattleHack is for you to have some fun, do some good -- and have a chance to win $100K USD.

  • Should I bring my pyjamas?

    Expect to stay overnight, so bring whatever you need to get you through a 24-hour hackfest. We’ll provide some sleep spaces for those who need to crash or when energy drinks start to ebb. Remember you are in a public forum, so do cover up.
