FLIP Fest

Once you have registered on HackerEarth and found a team or chosen to work solo, go to the FLIP-Fest Github repository to find any issue(s) you would like to sign-up to work on. We also advise that you join our Flow Discord Server and check out the FLIP Fest Category to get announcements, connect with Flow core contributors and other participants.

To work on an issue post the following as a comment on the issue on Github:

• Your team name with a link to the HackerEarth team
• Tag all team members with their Github usernames that are working on the project
• When you plan on completing the first milestone.

If there are more than 5 teams that already expressed interest in working on a project (issue), we would highly suggest selecting another one from the issue list.

Please be aware that the point-of-contact (POC) of the issue might reach out to you if there were any issues and you may be asked to delay your start and discuss details with the team privately if:

• You or any member of your team is over-subscribed to too many projects and requires a discussion with the team
• We suspect there may be a mismatch of the skills and experience required to finish the project adequately within the Oct 15th deadline.
• We are requesting more details on the approach and/or implementation to remove redundancies across teams
• If there are more than 5 teams that would like to work on a project, we may ask some teams to consider working together.

Once you have begun work, you should start to prepare for your first milestone submission. A milestone submission is a PR that should be directed at: /submissions/issue-#/milestone-#/team-name with the issue linked in the PR. See the sample PR for what to generally include in the submission.

After any submission, the Flow team will review PRs every week on Thursday and Friday to provide feedback and approvals. If your PR is merged, you will get the completion reward for the milestone and can move onto the next one (if applicable) for the project.

If all milestone submissions have been merged for a project, please wait till October 15th for the selection of the team that will receive the best solution reward for each completed project.
