2nd Succeed hackathon at the University of Alicante
Is there anyone out there still thinking that a hackathon is a malicious break-in?
Far from it. It is the best way for developers and researchers to get together and work on new tools and innovations. The2nd developers workshop / hackathon organised on 10-11 April by the Succeed Project was a case in point: bringing together people to work on new ideas and new inspiration for better OCR. The event was held in the Claude Shannon room of the Department of Software and Computing Systems (DLSI) of the University of Alicante, Spain. Claude Shannon was a famous mathematician and engineer and is also known as the “father of information theory”. So it seemed a good place to have a hackathon!
