This bunch of software is just a godsend for us other hackathon organizers. We used Gavel last time when we went over 1k participants and we really liked how the software worked.<p>My friend also wrote a script to automate getting data from Devpost (A platform for hackathon submissions)[0] so it would ease the workflow.[1]<p>[0]<a href="https://devpost.com" rel="nofollow">https://devpost.com</a><p>[1]<a href="https://github.com/lappalj4/excelify" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lappalj4/excelify</a>
I judged a hackathon at Northwestern that used Gavel and it was a great system - it dynamically assigns booths for judges to visit and only asks for pairwise comparisons, i.e. Is this exhibit better than the last one?
Is this software _for_ hackathons? Or did it all come out of hackathons? I can't really tell, and only ask because I'm having trouble figuring out where something like "a WiFi-based presence sharing system for specific physical spaces" (OffiX) would fit into a new hackathon product.
