ESA-announce WZB Berlin oTree Hackathon 26-29 October

The first WZB oTree Hackathon, to be held 26-29 October 2017 at Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) in Berlin.

Jointly sponsored by WZB and LEEPS lab, University of California Santa Cruz, the hackathon is intended to bring the sprawling oTree community together. Programmers and researchers will connect and exchange ideas, and will extend oTree’s capabilities. Participants will form teams with 2-5 members and intensively develop a project helpful for their own research and for the oTree community. The event is targeted both at seasoned programmers who want to develop new oTree techniques and economists interested in using oTree in their research. Also, we will be organizing a crash course for folks unfamiliar with oTree.
