[riot-devel] Open IoT Challenge 2.0

[Benjamin Cabé]

Hi!

Many of you will remember the first edition of the Open IoT Challenge, since
a team of RIOT developers arrived in third place [1] during the first
edition, with the watr.li   project!
We are back for a second edition, with even bigger prizes this time ($3,000
for the winning team anyone? :-)), so I hope to see several projects based
on RIOT among the participants.

You can find all the details regarding the challenge at
http://iot.eclipse.org/open-iot-challenge. Just like before, the first step
is to share with us your project idea, and for that you have until next
Monday, Nov 23. A short list of up to 15 proposals will be awarded $150 to
help buy the hardware needed for your project. After this date, you will
have about 3 months to build your project since the deadline to finalize
your project is February 26 next year.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Benjamin ­
