What kind of work do hackathons represent? We generally aim to build a platform that connects "makers" - digital artisans, creators, and skilled professionals, with community members or "challenge owners" seeking unique services or products. In this we aim at promoting collaboration, sharing knowledge, supporting the idea of serendipity and crafty prototyping while incorporating modern technology. What would it mean to encourage sustainable practices and fair trade principles, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all participants?

Our mission: create a format that enriches local economies and fosters a deeper appreciation for the skill and artistry of engaged people around the world. Discuss!

Oleg and Derrick would like to share some new features in Dribdat v88 that are moving in this direction by helping to match the "haves" and "wants" of contributors and challenges.
