Information about the Terms and Conditions: 5.1 Terms and Conditions for Participation
- Attendees from all backgrounds, genders, and geographies are welcome. Attendees coming from traditionally underrepresented groups will have an advantage in the hackathon application process.
- There is no age restriction to attend the hackathon. In case you are under 18, you need a signed waiver from the parent/legal guardian authorizing you to attend the hackathon. If this is the case just let us know via email or via our meetup site.
- Organizing Committee members are not eligible to participate in the hackathon. They may, however, assist teams as mentors during the coding/development phase.
- There is no country restriction but you must be eligible to receive prizes (in case you win) and you are responsible for paying any taxes on the prize winnings.
- Teams must consist of at least one member but not more than five members. Exceptions can be made for teams to have more than five members on a case by case basis. Contact the hackathon organizing committee in case you need to have a team of more than 5 members.
- All teams should have at least one designer (unless the team only has one member).
- Changes to team members are not permitted after Saturday, July 21, 2017, at 5:00 PM. Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis as decided by the hackathon organizing committee.
- Teams are allowed to begin work prior to the hackathon. If any team has a code base prior to the start of the hackathon it will be required for them to declare their code by publishing it openly to the team github before they begin.
- Teams starting with an established code base will also be required to present their starting point publicly during the initial pitch sessions (see agenda).
- It is recommended to brainstorm ideas and create wireframes/mockups prior to the hackathon as well as to discuss these ideas with one another under the appropriate track discussion board.
- Any software development tools, IDE, or programming language can be used for the event. The only restriction is that projects should be developed either on an ethereum basis or for IOTA. Other blockchains / DLT is outside the scope of the hackathon.
- If a team member uses a purchased tool licensed to him or her and the license is not transferable to other members the team should choose one available to all developer team members.
- To ensure a level field for all contestants, all code must be created only at the hackathon. You are permitted to use publicly developed API’s for your project.
- You will only be able to use a pre-public release product for use in developing your creation if you bring at least one extra version that can be used by other teams in the Hackathon, and provide any user support needed to teams using the device.
- Project design/assets can be created prior to the start date of the hackathon. All assets should conform to the Creative Commons License agreement standard, or is freely available and you have permission or license to use it. Proof of permission must be given upon request.
- Assets, SDKs, APIs or other tools or components available under a trial license may be used.
- A team can submit only one entry for the hackathon. Participation at the hackathon is subjected on a “per-team” basis meaning you are not allowed to be on more than one team at the event.
- Any intellectual property developed during and within the scope of the hackathon must be open source and licensed under one of the licenses referenced in https://opensource.org/licenses.
- The license selected by the team must be clearly listed in code (page per page) or a generic page announcing the license the application adheres to. Also, the public code used in your application should also list the licenses the code is subjected to.
- A team can use multiple licenses in the application. For example, The public code used is subjected to the Apache license agreement whereas the code written by the team for the application is subjected to the MIT license agreement.
- A team may not code applications that violate the code of conduct. For example, Racially insensitive ideas for an application will automatically be disqualified.
- Prior to the beginning of the hackathon all participants must have been accepted to join and received a confirmation on the hackathon meetup page
- Additionally everyone should have filled out an application form prior to being accepted to hack. If for some reason you haven't done this yet, click here and do it now.
All teams should have a team name, and maintain their code as a public repo on the Blockchained Mobility Hackathon GitHub organization. The Github team page should include a readme with the following information:
- The team lead must list a mobile phone number
- The platform (ethereum or IOTA)
- The development tools used to build the project
- SDKs used in the project
- APIs used in the project
- Any assets used in the project
- Any libraries used in the project
- Any components not created at the hackathon
- All projects must be submitted as team repos with a track on the Blockchained Mobility Hackathon GitHub organization before judging begins on Sunday July 22 at 14:00. Failure to submit will result in disqualification.
- All winning projects submitted will be subject to code-review. When the hackathon ends at least one member from each winning team must be available to meet with the code review team for a brief review of their submission and to confirm that their team’s Hackathon GitHub has been correctly updated. Applications will be spot checked by code reviewers. All winning projects will be code reviewed to confirm that the code is indeed original work created at the hackathon and any breach of these rules in spirit or in fact, will be grounds for disqualification either at the hackathon or ex-post facto.
Our hackathon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, previous hackathon attendance or computing experience (or lack of any of the aforementioned). We do not tolerate harassment of hackathon participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for any hackathon venue, including hacks, talks, workshops, parties, social media and other online media. Hackathon participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the hackathon at the discretion of the hackathon organizers.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography or audio/video recording against reasonable consent, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Photography is encouraged, but other participants must be given a reasonable chance to opt out from being photographed. If they object to the taking of their photograph, comply with their request. It is inappropriate to take photographs in contexts where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (in bathrooms or where participants are sleeping).
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. As this is a hackathon, we like to explicitly note that the hacks created at our hackathon are equally subject to the anti-harassment policy. Sponsors and partners are also subject to the antiharassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Sponsor representatives (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/ uniforms/costumes or otherwise, create a sexualized environment. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of hackathon staff immediately.
Hackathon staff will be happy to help participants contact any local security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the hackathon. We value your attendance. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the hackathon organizers may take any action they deem appropriate. This includes warning the offender, expulsion from the hackathon with no refund (if applicable), or reporting their behavior to local law enforcement.
We expect participants to follow these rules at hackathon and workshop venues and hackathon related social events.
- In order to ensure fairness, jury members must abstain from votes on hackathon teams in which they have a vested interest (ie. Sponsors will not be able to cast votes for their own teams).
- For teams which started coding prior to the hackathon, to insure fairness, the jury will be instructed to consider their work on the basis of advancement from their publicly declared starting point as compared with their peers who started from scratch.
- Should a tie for one of the first three places occur, the judges will vote again on just the merits of the tied team.
Proposed Jury Makeup:
- BMW Representative
- VW Representative
- Bosch Representative
- IOTA Representative
- Michael Reuter: CEO Datarella
- Herbert Mangesius: Vito Ventures VC
The pitch of each team's solution takes place on Sunday afternoon. The pitch should not take longer than 5 minutes but should contain all relevant information. This will be followed by a 2 minute Q&A.
Teams will pitch in two groups. Each track will pitch in the alpahbetical order that their repository names have on github.
The evalutation of the pitch adresses the following points:
Vision (10 points):
- How innovative is the project?
Achievement (10 points):
- How good is the technical implementation/Design/Usability?
Learning process (10 points):
- Did the original idea change while developing? At which point did the team start?
- Did the team have previous knowledge about their vision?
- If the team started before the hackathon did the team declare their code base initially? (If not: Disqualification)
Compete and Collaborate (10 points):
- How many different companies are involved?
- How is the compete and collaboration process?
- Did the team bring many different companies and technologies together?
Relevance (10 points):
- Did the team use blockchain technology?
- Does it make sense to use the blockchain here?
- Is it relevant to challenges in the mobility industry?
The hackathon winners will receive prizes in value of 8.000 USD, a potential pre-Seed funding up to 50.000 USD from the newly set up IOTA ecosystem development fund as well as 5 pairs of Sony WH1000XM2.
Prize packages will be awarded for the first, second and third place winning teams.
- First place: 5,000 USD
- Second place: 2,000 USD
- Third place: 1,000 USD
The IOTA Ecosystem Development Fund is prepared to support a standout, open source, IOTA based mobility solution with a $50k IOTA token grant to take the idea generated at the conference towards a real-world prototype.
This will be decided by the IOTA Ecosystem Development Fund and if any team is selected for this pre-Seed funding they will be notified in the weeks following the hackathon.
Additionally, Amadeus provides a special prize. This will be 5 pairs of Sony WH1000XM2. The prize will be given to the best integration of Amadeus APIs.
All hackathon participants will also receive 10,000 Crowdstart Coins (XSC) as a thank you for their contributions to the blockchain ecosystem. Crowdstart Capital is a project of Datarella designed to reward developers contributing to the blockchain ecosystem. You can learn more about Crowdstart Capital here. Crowdstart Capital has also developed a super easy to use wallet for the XSC. You can download the app here.
In order to be eligible for the prizes and to facilitate the distribution of discount codes enabling hackers to receive cost-free tickets to the DAHO.AM Conference on July 24, 2018, all hackers must be present for the final presentation or make other arrangements with the Hackathon staff. Upon completion of the final presentation, each hacker will receive a web address and the key to a password protected online form. In order to be eligible for the prizes and the DAHO.AM tickets each hacker will need to fill out the form including their IOTA address, ethereum address contact information and some brief information about their team's work. Once the form is complete, a one-time use discount code will appear and can be redeemed for a DAHO.AM ticket on the Eventbrite webpage. The main prize packages will be distributed following the hackathon by the IOTA foundation in the form of IOTA tokens.
If you are in one of the three winning teams you will receive the money in form of IOTA-Tokens as prize. In order to get those IOTA to you, you need to have an IOTA wallet.
If you don't have an IOTA wallet yet, you could follow this tutorial to create a wallet:

The participant listed in the appendix participates at the DAHO.AM Blockchained Mobility: A Mobility and Distributed Ledger Tech Hackathon, organized by Datarella GmbH, Oskar-von-Miller-Ring 36, D-80333 Munich ("Datarella" or "Organizer") from 20.7.2018 to 22.7.2018 ("Event“).
Subject and purpose of the Event is the collaborative software development. The participants apply in advance with their prior knowledge or an idea to participate in the Event. The application is possible until the day before the start of the Event. The organizer uses the submitted information to select which participants are invited to participate in the Event. As part of the Event, the participants will create software prototypes that present the underlying idea as tangibly as possible in a short time. At the end of the Event, the participants present their results to the jury, which decides on the awarding of the prizes. Datarella reserves the right to cancel or terminate the Event at any time without notice and without giving reasons. Datarella may make use of this option in particular if, for technical, legal or factual reasons, it can not guarantee proper execution of the Event.
Datarella selects the participants from the applications, among other things, on the basis of their idea and previous knowledge in the application. No individual participant has the right to participate. Datarella reserves the right to reject applications without giving reasons. Datarella informs the participants about the outcome of the application by e-mail.
Minors are excluded from participation. The participant personally confirms that he is of legal age.
Participants will comply with these terms and conditions at all times and comply with all legal requirements and refrain from the creation of content that is unlawful or otherwise offensive or can be construed as such.

Organization and costs of the journey to the Event are the responsibility of the participants. Datarella does not reimburse any travel or other incidental expenses.
The participants or teams chosen by the jury receive prizes from Datarella, which are officially communicated before or during the Event.
A claim on the prizes does not exist for the participants. Employees of Datarella or companies affiliated with Datarella as well as employees of partners / sponsors of the Event are excluded from the award. In the Event of a violation of the conditions of participation or failure of the instructions (as per § 3) of the staff employed by Datarella, Datarella may exclude them from the award and / or reclaim any prizes already paid. The legal process is excluded.
All information and documents made available or created by Datarella or the participants at the Event are generally non-confidential and may be used, for example on social media channels. There may also be representatives of the press.
If the participant becomes aware of or receives confidential information during the Event, he will treat it with strict confidentiality and not disclose it to third parties.
"Confidential Information" in this sense means any information that is identified as confidential or that a reasonable third party would treat as confidential. The Participant will protect this information from unauthorized access and treat it with the same care with which it treats its own confidential business information. Before leaving the Event, the participant will not destroy any confidential information, or, if requested by Datarella, hand it over to Datarella. The confidentiality obligation will continue for five years after the end of the Event.
As part of the Event, Datarella will create photo and film recordings or have them created by third parties and, where appropriate, publish them in the Datarella Group's internal media as well as in external media. In addition, representatives of the press may be present at the Event. If audio and video recordings are made during the Event, they may also contain recordings of participants. With regard to the right to own portrait, the participants irrevocably and unconditionally agree to the image of their person in the original version of the photograph or the film or in the form of an editorial revision. The publication right covers distribution in all languages. It is unlimited in time and space. It may also be published in a video and in the form of brochures and other publications, for advertising purposes and in all media currently available and available in the future.

The participants are informed that third parties can also publish their pictures as part of quotations and impressions of sections of the article. The participants waive the naming of their name (but Datarella is entitled to mention the names) and are informed that third parties can publish their image in quotations and impressions of extracts from the articles. The publication of his illustration to the extent described occurs without any special remuneration. Financial compensation claims of whatever kind are not asserted.
By submitting your application, the participants agree that Datarella will distribute photos and film recordings of the participants and interview them with them in radio, television, print and online media without any claim to remuneration in accordance with the conditions of participation and released.
Entrants shall indemnify Datarella against all information, documents, concepts, programs or other material or methods, techniques or procedures the use of which is or may be subject to property rights ("works") and which they (a) prior to the Event (eg. (Eg in the application process) Datarella provides or (b) as already existing works in the Event, the irrevocable, non-exclusive, temporally and spatially unlimited and free right, the works exclusively in the context of the execution of the Event in any way in any way to use. Datarella points out that it may already be working on works which are not eligible for intellectual property rights or which are protected by copyright, and which remain unaffected by the works provided by participants or other ideas that are not eligible for intellectual property rights.
For works that re-create the participants alone or together as a team at the Event ("work results"), the participants are willing to negotiate exclusively with Datarella within 120 days of the Event for the granting of the irrevocable, exclusive, transferable and unrestricted Right to use the work results (including those works of the participants on which the work results necessarily build up) by Datarella. During this period, participants will not otherwise use the work results or start the negotiation and will not publish them. If a participant intends to negotiate with a third party during this period for the transfer or use of the work results, he undertakes to inform Datarella of this intention and, at its request, grant it the right to enter the first hearing before that third party. If Datarella does not accept this offer within 90 days or if the negotiations with the participant are declared over, the participant is entitled to engage in other negotiations. If the results of the work have been developed in a team, the team captain and all team members will take all (co-) impact actions in order to give effect to this regulation also for team work results.
Datarella is liable to participants only for intent and gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is excluded. This does not apply to injury to life, body or health. Datarella shall not be liable for damages suffered by third parties (eg theft or property damage) or due to an accident without the participation of Datarella, or for damages caused by or in breach of these Terms of Participation or any other provision specified by Datarella (eg.
