During the opening ceremony, we will introduce you to this year's Hackathon. Then, participants will have a chance to spend the remaining time (with an open mic) to talk about their projects. If there are people who are in need of collaborators, they can also briefly announce what they are doing and what they need help with. Others can simply announce an offer of help in their area of expertise.
