  3. How do I submit what I have made for the Hackathon?
    You have to develop the application on your local system and submit it on HackerEarth in tar/zip file format along with instructions to run the application and source code.

  4. Do we need to have the entire idea fully working?
    The entire idea need not be fully implemented beforehand, however, it will be helpful to have your idea sufficiently ready, such that it can be added to and demonstrated at the 24-hour online Hack-a-thon event. The submission shall be functional so that it can be ported onto the Vantage platform and demonstrated for review by the judges.

  6. Does one have to be online and available for the entire duration of the Hackathon?
    There are two phases for this Hack-a-thon.
    Phase 1 – Online – Participants will have access to the Avaya Breeze Client SDK, Zang Cloud, based on which they will develop their applications.
    Phase 2 – Onsite – Participants will have Internet Access at the event site and through it, access to the Avaya backend services to initiate calls (audio/video/conferencing) and send SMS notifications (Zang). They will be required to upload their Android application on the Vantage Platform and demonstrate their application to the judging panel. Points will be awarded based on various categories as outlined in the Judging criteria.
