- Nothing Gets Built Ahead Of Time
Ideas and/or pencil & paper (not digital) mockups ONLY before the competition.
- 48 Hours To Build
Starts 00:00 AM CDT on August 13 and ends 48 hours later at 11:59 PM CDT August 14.
- Max Team Of 3
You and up to two other cohorts.
- DVCS
By popular demand, you must use a DVCS this year (git or mercurial). In order to update the site, track who's competing and make sure things stay fair, you'll need to use either GitHub or BitBucket and setup the webhooks to talk to the Django Dash site. Instructions will be provided.
- Open Source
To help with the judging process, all entries must be open-source. This allows non-paid usage of GitHub or BitBucket (though their services are worth paying for). It will also remove questions about judging code quality.
Plus it's good for the community.
- Third Party Allowances
You may use any third party sources (Python modules/Django apps/etc) you wish. But be warned that the less code you write, the worse your judging score will be. The point is that you should build an app/site, not just tie a couple things together.
- Pip Requirements Or Buildout
Your entire project must be able to be installed using Pip via a requirements file (preferred) or via buildout. If your app isn't packaged & installable via one of these two options, it simply won't get judged.
