- Hackathon society at Manchester Metropolitan University.
- Welcoming to each and every student irrespective of the course they study, the year they are in or the level of experience/knowledge they have.
- A play on word for "Hello World!", so "Hello Hackers!" would be a greeting to fellow hackers. 😋
-
try and make it easier for hackathon lovers to find people within the university with similar interests to:
- form teams for hackathons - to support this, we provide funding for travel to hackathons within the UK (up to £50)
- collaborate on side projects
- attend hackathon related workshops, talks and challenges
-
organize hackathons, workshops, hack days, talks and challenges.
-
also an attempt to destigmatize and spread awareness about the true meaning of the term "hacker" and the difference between a hacker and a cracker.
- Hackers build things 🛠, crackers break them 💔.
- [An amazing article: How to be a Hacker (highly recommend, if you can get past the bland styling of the page)](http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
