CALL FOR HACKS
------------------------------------------

The NDN team is organizing the 4th NDN Hackathon on March 25th and
March 26th at University of Memphis, TN.
We solicit hackathon proposals that advance the state of NDN.
Participants will have approximately **12 hours** to work on their
projects.

We encourage projects that:

 - directly address NDN research needs,
 - create new NDN tools or modify existing tools,
 - create or improve documentation and how-to guides.

------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
------------------------------------------

Proposals should be submitted via email to <4th-ndn-hackathon at named-data.net>.

The submissions should include:

- 1 page description PDF that includes the following:
  -- Contact information of submitter
  -- Problem statement
  -- Planned tasks to accomplish
  -- Knowledge requirements, and
  -- Expected outcome by the end of the hackathon.

- 1 PPTx/PDF slide, listing the project leader(s) and summarizing the
  problem, contribution, tasks, required knowledge, and expected outcome.

All submitted proposals will be reviewed by the hacking Committee.

If accepted, the project leader is expected to give a 5 minute “pitch”
presentation at the beginning of the Hackathon, soliciting participation
from attendees.

We hope that this hackathon will be a fun event for everyone and that projects
will lead to collaborations extending beyond the hackathon.

We look forward to your participation in the hackathon.
