Renku is a great choice for computing events like hackathons and workshops. Take full advantage of Renku’s collaboration features and integration with other platforms. Focus on innovation, learning and skilling up, not on setup and infrastructure. Provide a consistent environment for all teams, and get participants coding and collaborating right away.
In order to assure that sufficient resources are available for your event, please register it in advance.
In order to manage rights of the participants in your setup for the event in Renku, they need to be registered users. Therefore, ask them to create an account well in advance before the event, as described in How to create your Renku account. After that, they should share with you the identifier of their Renku account that can be found with an @ at the top left hand side of the dashboard after they log in.
We recommend you to create a group for your event following the instructions in How to create a group.
We recommend to add other event admins as owners of the group so that they can edit all the projects in the group.
Add the participants as viewers of the group. As a result, they will be able to see the projects and data connectors in the group, but they will not be able to edit them.
Depending on the requirements of the event, we propose two modes for setting up the event projects:
End-to-end Event Mode: Ideal for events where participants cannot share the information across working groups or have little background on digital skills.
→
Template Event Mode: Participants create their own copies of an event template project. Sharing visibility across participants projects is part of the dynamics and participants are comfortable setting up some basic resources on their projects.
