oBJECTIVES

Create a usable, good looking and flexible

environment to showcase and

make the Toolkits available for all on the Web

How we did that?

• Creation of a small working group (Roots: #CCSummit2013)
• 1 problem? 3 planners and just one developer...
• So we decided to host a hackathon in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We needed more devs and some designers
  
• Creation of some communication assets to promote the event
• Relations with the local community (CC Argentina & Wikimedia Argentina)
• Spam, spam, spam
• Host a hackathon!
  

What did we used?

• Design: Adobe Suite (but open formats for the outputs), icons from The Noun Project, LayerVault
  
• Development: HTML5, CSS3, GitHub, Wordpress
  
• Planning: Google Docs, Dropbox, Etherpad, a few cups of coffee
  

WELCOME TO CCTOOLKITSCOM! (PROBABLY TOOLKITS.CREATIVECOMMONS.ORG SOON)

Let´s take a ride!

Tips

• Feed your hackathon atendees =P
  
• After the excitment of the Hackathon (The first CC hackathon in Argentina!), the working rythm drops significantly (Everyone has jobs, duties, relax times, etc.)  so
• Try to finish everything at the event
• Make a mailing list and keep up the relations with the participants
• Ask them about their deliverables frequently but understand that everyone has other things to do
• Keep a solid communication with the small working group to help each other and make it to the deadline
  

Thanks!
