(Some) Hackathon Ideas

  • Bow ties are cool. But dashlets are cooler. Have a system you need to integrate with the Sugar UI? Brand new to Sugar 7 development? Then Dashlets are a great way to get your feet wet. Try creating a chart! Everybody loves those. We've got plenty of Sugar Engineers around that can help you too. Create your first (or 100th) Sugar 7 dashlet.

  • Elasticsearch is REALLY FAST. We are expanding our investment into Elasticsearch in future releases but the flexibility of Elastic means there's plenty of solutions that are made easier and much faster once you learn how to take advantage of it. Whether that is full text document search or geolocation for Maps integrations. Expore use of Elasticsearch, with the help of the Sugar Architects, to create solutions to common customer requirements

  • Tools make everybody's life easier. Have you had ideas for a Sugar 7 development tool but your regular job keeps getting in the way? Now's your chance to give it a shot with the help of some friends or newly met acquaintances. Design and Prototype a Sugar 7 Development tool.

  • Everyone knows that in a big meeting with a prospective customer or execs, it's always LAPTOPS CLOSED and PHONES OFF. Staring at a screen makes you appear disinterested and like you are not paying attention. Sales is about relationships, your prospective customer will not buy from you if they do not trust you. However, a sales person needs to be able to keep on top of any fires that might be starting at one of their other accounts or opportunities. Design and prototype a wearable that allows a CRM user to get silent, unobtrusive, and PRECISE notifications without looking at their phone or laptop.

Hackathon Resources

Uses Geo-location plug-in for Elasticsearch to create a proof of concept Maps dashlet that allows you to find "Contacts near me".

Proof of concept module loadable package that extends Sugar 7's GlobalSearch provider to perform full text search of files in Notes/Attachments and Documents modules.

Prototype for a Sidecar Chrome plug-in to help with Sugar 7 development.

Node.js Hackathon projects. Node.js is great for quickly prototyping new integrations and solutions. If you are interested in hacking on Internet of Things ideas via Node.js, this contains some resources to help you get started.
