Wow, this thread got deeply lost in translation — I really apologize for the
huge lag, just became aware of the discussion now.
Not sure I have enough experience to lead the organization of a hackathon, but
am more than willing to partner up with Max to gain some traction and make this
happen. As he mentioned, we are both based in Berlin, which makes it pretty
convenient. @Max, let's sync on the status of this — I see Mathias (Baetens)
has also showed interest in jumping on board.
Again, sorry for losing track of this.
Marta
