Liberate Data Week Hackathon - Day 6 - Open day

Sat, Oct 2, 2021, 12:00 AM

Liberate Data Week is a Fair Data Society organized hackathon happening from 8–14 February 2021. Ethereum Swarm website: https://swarm.ethereum.org/ Fair Data Society: https://principles.fairdatasociety.org/ REIMAGINING THE DATA ECONOMY BY CREATING A FAIR, DECENTRALISED DATA LAYER Those who are not yet familiar with the Fair Data Society (FDS) initiative should check out their website, but in short, FDS is an ecosystem initiative working towards a self-sovereign data commons, guided by the community’s ethical principles. As Swarm was once incubated in the Ethereum Foundation, Swarm is supporting Fair data society until it can stand on its own feet. Fair Data Society aims to connect the wider ecosystem and is technology-agnostic, connecting the “tech with social” while facilitating discussion around the ethical shared values of the ecosystem. Liberate Data Week is a hackathon packed with valuable announcements, talks, demos, and presentations. Each hackathon day is dedicated to a specific topic, each relevant to the Fair Data economy. You can expect many practical workshops that will demonstrate how to use Fair Data Society’s FairOS libraries and Fairdrive to build thin dApps on top of Swarm. A lot of focus will also be dedicated to Swarm incentives and tutorials on how to run your own Bee node. CONTRIBUTE YOUR FIRST THIN DAPP VIA FAIRDRIVE The goal of the event is for you to learn how to install and run your own Bee node, discuss fair data-related topics, and understand Swarm incentives and how you can benefit by plugging into the Swarm network in its early stages. The ultimate goal, though, is to bootstrap the use of Fairdrive as the go-to solution when developing thin dApps on Swarm and to build your first one at the event. A jury will vote for the best one and reward the winning team for their efforts. More hackathon rules and guidelines will be given at the start of the event. WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR? Although this is promoted as a hackathon, this event is interesting to a wider audience than just developers and Swarm grant recipients. The topics discussed during the opening morning talks give a comprehensive insight into Swarm and Fair Data Society related topics, and the practical Swarm Bee node workshops present an opportunity for non-tech people to run and install their own nodes too. Everybody is welcome to re-watch the videos of this event.
