IndiaHacks: Open Source

The Open Source track is a month-long initiative to encourage people to contribute to Open Source projects, whether by fixing bugs, creating new features, or updating and writing documentation.

We have featured a list of projects on this page, you can contribute to these projects or pick any project on Github and start submitting Pull Requests(PR). For every PR that is accepted, we will calculate the impact of the contribution by analyzing the scope of the work done.

Some of the projects in the featured list are not hosted on Github, and will have a different procedure for contribution. The detailed judging process is described in the rules section

The participants contributing to any of the project featured on this page will be eligible to win the prizes listed below. Participants contributing to any other project listed on Github and have sent more than 4 pull requests can win a cool HackerEarth T-shirt.

Note: Connecting your Github account is mandatory to validate your participation.You can connect the Github account from the right panel on the page.

Now the leaderboard is live. Click here to view your scores.

Q: How will points be awarded?
Each project has a list of issues and these issues are tagged as low/medium/high, depending on the scope and difficulty level of the issue, (the tag labels differs from project to project). Each tag has a score associated with it. Total points will be awarded based on the number of PRs/contributions accepted at the end of the month, whoever has the maximum points will be awarded the prizes.

The tag labels of different projects and their corresponding scores are listed in the rules section

Q: How will you know how many PRs I have submitted?
We’ve created a simple GitHub API script that tells us! For the projects that are not on Github, we will obtain the contribution details from the project maintainers.

Q: How will your script know about my Github identity?
You will have to connect your Github account on HackerEarth, so that we can identify your Github identity. You can connect the Github account from the right panel on the page.

Q: Can I only contribute in the projects listed on this page?
In addition to the projects listed on the page, you can contribute to any project that is hosted on Github. Please note that contributions made to the projects not featured in the contest will not be eligible for winning prizes. However, you can win a T-shirt if you send more than 4 Pull Requests to any Github hosted project.

It comprises a reusable framework that can be customized as per the enterprise ecosystem. The components are loosely integrated and can be de-coupled or replaced easily with alternatives.The primary goal of BDRE is to accelerate Bigdata implementations by supplying the essential frameworks that are most likely to be written from scratch. It can drastically reduce effort by eliminating hundreds of man hours in operational framework development. Big Data implementations however, require specialized skills, significant development effort on data loading, semantic processing, DQ, code deployment across environments etc.
