GCTools Hackathon

The GCTools team is looking for support to further develop GCconnex, GCcollab and GCpedia - our open source platforms. GCconnex and GCcollab are based on Elgg. Towards that goal, we are hosting a hackathon event! The GCTools Hackathon will be on April 6-7, 2017, in Ottawa at the Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Service Lab.  We also encourage virtual participation.
