Hack.Moscow [channel]

By today we have received 2500 applications from 60 countries. Among them, there were many insanely talented guys, and in general, most of the applications are small masterpieces. We were pleased to check them, thank you for taking this seriously.

In general, we noticed a strong interest in Hack.Moscow v3.0 from our community. Therefore, we decided to extend the acceptance of applications for participants from Russia for another 2 weeks — until October 15. Invite your friends, gather strong teams and participate in #RoadToHackMoscow!

Hack.Moscow is a hackathon made for the community by the community. We work 24/7 for Hack.Moscow to be as iconic hackathon as possible with interesting cases, hacking atmosphere and of course it should give lots of opportunities for participants!

From today, we start announcing partners of Hack.Moscow v3.0

Our main partner is 1C. Thanks to the company, we will have a huge venue, meals for all participants throughout the hackathon. Also 1C has given a challenge, which you will learn about a bit later.

Hack.Moscow — Where?

This year we will be revisiting 1C office. Same venue, but everything will be in a new way — the building was reconstructed, and it will be even cooler!

The venue is a huge rectangular space on which we will place almost all the hackers, as well as company stands, and entertaining stuff. There is also a separate chill area where you can sleep on bag chair or sleeping mats.

The venue is located at: Dmitrovskoe highway, 9

P.S. Tell us what we can bring/consruct/place on a venue — useful or fun. Any ideas, even the craziest ones, are welcome. Use @hackmoscow3_bot for this. The authors of the best answers will receive secret codes to boost their applications!
