<p><span>Hello, R-Users!</span></p>
<p><span>Have you ever joined an </span><b>hackathon</b><span>? If so, you surely know how fun and stimulating these events are. If not… now’s your chance!</span></p>
<p><span>Quantide is collaborating with </span><b>Hack the City 2018</b><span>, the 4</span><span>th</span><span> edition of the Southern Switzerland’s hackathon. Aside from being partners, we’re </span><b>actively part of it</b><span>: we have members in the mentors’ group and as part of the technical commission of the jury. We also give out a </span><b>special mention for for the best data science project</b><span>, developed with open source technology and preferably using R as programming language. It’s the first time that R makes its entry in this hackathon: if you work with R, here’s your chance!</span></p>
<p><span>Hack the city is a great occasion to </span><b>show off your talent and your ideas</b><span>, in team or as an individual. Programmers, graphic designers, project designers and makers collaborate to build something in just </span><b>48 hours</b><span>. You can also join the competition from your own home, as long as at least one of your teammates is in Lugano! At the end of the hackathon, a jury will give out great prizes to the best project: respectively 5000, 2500 and 100o CHF for first, second and third prizes. There are other special mentions and scholarships, as we have mentioned before.</span></p>
<p><span>The last minutes tickets are </span><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hackthecity.ch/e/hack-the-city-2018#event" target="_blank"><span>available now</span></a><span>, so if you want to grab this occasion, you should do it fast! Hack the City 2018 will take place in </span><b>Lugano, from 27</b><b>th</b><b> to 29</b><b>th</b><b> April</b><span>. Hope to see you there!</span></p>
