Here's Challenge the teams worked on:

Devices around get smarter. They turn to assistants. Yet, today they are still in a toddler phase. Teach them walking!

  • Let your 'lazy self' speak: where can smart devices make your life easier? Yet: is your idea really more than just a simple replacement / mimicking of some real world thing? (I don't need an app to tell me, it's raining - I can look out of the window - these real things with non-touch-sensitive transparent panes)?
  • How can capabilities of smart devices be enhanced? How can software expand on the available HW?
  • Currently smart devices are islands and in isolation almost boring - can you build bridges?

Notes: for using some of these apis you need to register on their websites. In case you don't yet have an account, consider setting one up before the event. The list above is by no means exclusive - feel free to use any other tools, services, apis (while adhereing to their terms of use, please).

What you should bring?

  • Ideas & inclination to create something new in a new team
  • A notebook (with powersupply!)
  • potentially a raspi or any other device you'd like to use
  • coding experience helps - ideally already with alexa, withings, wia
  • Sleeping bag or pads in case you'd like to take a nap

For presenting your results on Sunday to the jury, please:

  • register to Open Ecosystem Network
  • start a proposal - you can do this anytime and work on your proposal - you can find an example submission here.
  • submit proposal before code freeze (Sunday, 09:00h local)

What does the jury expect from the proposals?

  1. A short description of your team's proposal that a five year old (or management) can understand
  2. Details:
    • What problem is solved / addressed?
    • How is it solved?
    • Who are the main targeted audience or customers?
    • What are the benefits / which value is created?
    • What is still open?
    • What would need to be done to make a real product and scale up?
  3. A prototype - the code & necessary documentation to make it run
  4. Don't forget the credits: list of team members (names, roles, anything else you'd like to share)
  5. Failure is an option: in case you got stuck somewhere or hit a wall: don't hesitate to still submit nevertheless & explain where the project got stuck.

Who can create a challenge?

  • If you want to publish a challenge on the NokiaPartners - Open communities and get support from the community to solve your problems, you first need to be registered on the platform. Then you need to contact the NokiaPartners - Open communities administrator in the Community section. They will create the challenge for you. Search for “admin” in the Community section, and click on “Nokia Admin” to contact and ask for your challenge to be created.

 

How do I submit an answer/proposal?

  • To contribute to a challenge, first open the challenge page, and then click on the "start proposal" button on the right-hand-side. A new page will appear with different text fields to fill in and attachments to include. You can also link to an existing project you have previously created on the platform. Once you have finished, click on submit.
  • If you save as draft, your submission will not be completed and will not be submitted to the challenge owner.

 

What happens once I submit?

  • Once you have submitted your proposal, your ‘Challenge Submission Form’ becomes accessible by the creator or the challenge, who can see and edit your proposal. Through the challenge page, only the owner of the challenge can see the different proposals submitted against his/her challenge. It is up to the challenge owner to inform participants about decisions and potential next steps.
  • To note, when you save a submission as draft, it is not submitted to the challenge owner.

 

Who can see my proposal?

  • The owner of the challenge, the submission review committee, and the NokiaPartners - Open communities Administrator team are the only ones who can see your proposed ideas and solutions to the challenge.

 

What happens if my proposal is successful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is selected, the owner of the challenge will come back to you with further guidance on the next steps.

 

What happens if it is unsuccessful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is not shortlisted, the owner of the challenge will inform you using the messaging features of NokiaPartners - Open communities. Your proposed ideas will then be removed/deleted from challenge submissions.
