Thread:Talk:Amsterdam Hackathon 2013/What I did in the hackathon/reply (15)

We are a group of 7 students who are studying in a French engineering school (Ecole Centrale de Lille).

We are working on a project which consists in creating an application for Smartphones. This application would create touristic routes which are completed with articles from Wikipedia. We came in order to get some advice and help to develop our project, and we also wanted to meet the community after talking to it thanks to the Internet.

The hackathon helped us to meet specialized developers who were interested into our project. Moreover, thanks to the hackathon, we have forged real bonds with the community : we could not have established this kind and this number of links with online discussions and so it really speeds up our project, giving us answers to most of our technical issues.

This trip was very useful and enriching. We were very pleased by the welcome and everybody was really nice during the Hackathon. People were very concerned about our project and tried to help us as much as possible.

We hope that we would be able to give them what they have helped us for and We would like to thank them very much.

We will be doing a presentation about our project the 20th of June at 15h45 (GMT+1). We would enjoy to invite you to participate to it by an Internet broadcast. Please contact us to let us know if you are interested.

7 Students from France.
