Hotels

The following are some recommended hotels within the vicinity of the venue of the Hackathon:

Infrastructure

Participants will be expected to bring their own computers to the hackathon. As for deployment of services, to support testing, a number of infrastructure options will be available. Below is a description of each option:

  1. Participants may deploy services into their own computers.

  2. Participants may deploy services into their own Cloud infrastructure.

  3. The Map Tiles, Processes, and Coverages teams will be provided with a virtual machine each on the Ordnance Survey-sponsored Cloud.

Note
Provisioning on the Ordnance Survey-sponsored Cloud is still under negotiation, therefore participants should plan to deploy services into their own computers or own Cloud infrastructure unless advised otherwise.
