<h2>📖  RULES</h2><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h3>Who Can Participate?</h3><p><br /></p><p>This hackathon is open to OutSystems Developers who would like to practice their skills in ODC and those new to OutSystems who are willing to learn and make a difference. OutSystems will assist in training for newcomers.</p><p>Teams should be composed of a minimum of one and a maximum of five team members. We recommend building a diverse team that covers a wide spectrum of skills: developer, tech lead, UX/UI designer, and product owner. However, teams are free to choose any combination. Participants are also encouraged to form teams with a diversity of gender, region, skill levels, seniority, and more. In our experience, team diversity has significant benefits, especially in a hackathon.</p><p>Teams will have an amazing opportunity to bring the nonprofit that they would like to support. This can be an organization they already have a relationship with, a local or global nonprofit, that would benefit from an OutSystems license. If they do not have a nonprofit partner, we will be available to suggest some of the organizations that were nominated for the Digital Volunteers Program.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you would like to know more and need clarification, reach out to the hackathon team via <a href="mailto:makeadifference@outsystems.com">makeadifference@outsystems.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h3>Registration Rules</h3><p><br /></p><p>Each team member must use the TAIKAI platform to register as an innovator, and the team lead selected by the team will then create a Project and add their team “innovators” to the project.</p><p>Team names should include the company name (if all members are coming from the same organization) and another identifying noun. For example, an OutSystems team might use “OutSystems Geeks” or “OutSystems Warriors.” </p><p>Make sure you have all the relevant information before registering:</p><ol><li><p>All team members on board and the selected Team Lead</p></li><li><p>Team name</p></li><li><p>The nonprofit you will bring to the hackathon (optional)</p></li></ol><pre><strong>Important steps to confirm your team registration</strong></pre><p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Registrations are valid once a project is created with a maximum of 5 members in the Taikai platform and published. </p><p><strong>Step 2:</strong> To confirm your participation, once the team is formed the team lead needs to send an email to makeadifference@outsystems.com in order to get access to the hackathon ODC environment.
