If code can be developed in a day or two it has very limited commercial value. We strongly encourage hackers to pool and open source their solutions so that it is inclusive to everyone who has participated. We work as one big collaborative community.
When the code is in the community we cannot control what happens to it. Ideally our intention is that attendees draw inspiration from it, adapt and iterate it. For us, it is all about opening people’s eyes to the potential and getting them involved.
On this basis, if you do not agree, you have the option to opt-out.
If everyone protects their code or solutions it can really suffocate innovation.
The Project Data Analytics Community is managed by Projecting Success Ltd.
