NDAR Sponsors the OHBM 2013 Hackathon Posted By: David Kennedy - Jun 18, 2013Tool/Resource: NIMH Data Archive / National Database for Autism Research The National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) is a secondary sponsor of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) 2013 Hackathon, a meeting-long analysis and resource building competition designed to accelerate the connection between open neuroscience and cloud computing. This event will be held as a part of the OHBM 2013 Meeting this June in Seattle. The hackathon will include a meeting-long venue on the main poster/exhibit floor space and prepared cloud-accessible data and software. These resources will be available to participants beginning two months ahead of the meeting, with in-kind support from Amazon Web Services in the form of $100 in cloud computing credits. The contest is organized around three challenges; two are pre-announced and open to work prior to the meeting. The last challenge will be announced at the time of the meeting. Challenge details are available on the OHBM website. Cooperative hackathon activity outside of the contest is also encouraged. The Hackathon is open to everyone; however, in order to access the shared data in NDAR you must first submit a Data Use Certification form. Please contact the NDAR Help Desk at ndarhelp@mail.nih.gov if you would like to request access. For more information and to register, please visit the Hackathon website. Link to Original Article |
