We theorise this movement as computational diplomacy: a decentralised, participatory process for digital governance that leverages collective intelligence to tackle major global issues. Analysing Devpost and GitHub data reveals that 30% of hackathons since 2010 have addressed SDG topics, employing diverse technologies to create innovative solutions. Hackathons serve as crucial kairos moments, sparking innovation bursts that drive both immediate project outcomes and long-term production. We propose that these events harness the neurobiological basis of human cooperation and empathy, fostering a collective sense of purpose and reducing interpersonal prejudice. This bottom-up approach to digital governance integrates software development, human collective intelligence, and collective action, creating a dynamic model for transformative change. By leveraging kairos moments, computational diplomacy promotes a more inclusive and effective model for digital multilateral governance of the future.

This would include a `@context`, as well as `name`, `dateCreated` and so on. You can see this in the example below.\n\n# Full example\n\nRetrieved from https://hack.glam.opendata.ch/hackathon.json on 2024-10-22:\n\n```\n{\n \"@context\": \"http://schema.org\",\n \"@type\": \"Hackathon\",\n \"name\": \"GLAMhack 2024\",\n \"startDate\": \"2024-09-06T09:00\",\n \"endDate\": \"2024-09-07T16:00\",\n \"description\": \"10th Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon in Luzern\",\n \"mainEntityOfPage\": \"https://opendata.ch/de/events/glamhack24/\",\n \"url\": \"https://hack.glam.opendata.ch/event/12\",\n \"image\": \"https://s3.dribdat.cc/odch/a/1771/IBXKQB3UD3XW2PFOVONZNBX8/OpenGLAM_CH_Logo.svg.png\",\n \"location\": {\n \"@type\": \"Place\",\n \"address\": \"Lucerne\",\n \"name\": \"OpenGLAM CH\"\n },\n \"offers\": {\n \"@type\": \"Offer\",\n \"url\": \"https://opendata.ch/de/events/glamhack24/\"\n },\n \"workPerformed\": [\n {\n \"@type\": \"CreativeWork\",\n \"name\": \"DeepGLAM\",\n \"dateCreated\": \"2024-09-02T06:28\",\n \"dateModified\": \"2024-09-15T16:13\",\n \"description\": \"A \\\"meta\\\" challenge, in the form of a visualization that encourages participants to share some feedback/thoughts about this platform\",\n \"discussionUrl\": \"https://github.com/we-art-o-nauts/DeepGLAM/issues\",\n \"image\": \"https://s3.dribdat.cc/glam/c/1/JWWCD87JGB82LF0358POUQX8/Screenshot_from_20240906_220057.jpg\",\n \"license\": \"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\",\n \"url\": \"https://hack.glam.opendata.ch/project/300\"\n },\n ...\n ]\n}\n```\n\n# Related standards\n\n- [civic.json](https://open.dc.gov/civic.json/specification.html)\n- [eo-on-schema.org](https://github.com/eovoc/eo-on-schema.org)\n- [Frictionless Data](https://frictionlessdata.io) \n- [Open Event Data](https://www.openeventdata.ch)\n- [Dublin Core\u2122](https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/)\n- [Dribdat API](https://dribdat.cc/contribute.html#api-guide) (see [issue #112](https://github.com/dribdat/dribdat/issues/112))\n\n# Tools\n\nThe following applications can generate a `hackathon.json`, visualize the format, or validate your schema:\n\n- [Schema Validator](https://validator.schema.org/) (Validator at Schema.org)\n- [Schemantra](https://www.schemantra.com/schema_list/Hackathon) (Generator: fill out a form)\n- [Dribdat](https://codeberg.org/dribdat/dribdat) (Generator: a Python tool for hackathons)\n- [Backboard](https://codeberg.org/dribdat/backboard) (Viewer: a JavaScript renderer, part of Dribdat)\n\n# License\n\n[CC0 1.0 Universal](LICENSE)\n","autotext_url":"https://codeberg.org/dribdat/hackathon.json/","category_id":"","category_name":"","contact_url":"https://codeberg.org/dribdat/hackathon.json/issues","created_at":"2024-11-22T20:32","download_url":"","event_name":"Hack the Hackathon vol. 4","event_url":"https://hackthackathon.dribdat.cc/event/1","excerpt":"hackathon.json Specification\n----------------------------\n\nA standard data format for publishing evidence of public participation in technical events.\n\n# Overview\n\nOur goals are to have a shared and linked metadata and data model for opening data from and about hackathons.

If space is not available at your institution, you might need to rent space instead. Many cities have a variety of different kinds of hack-spaces that are available to rent for these events, but this will make your event substantially more expensive. Verify that the space that you are renting is a good fit for your event. For example, it should ideally have ample bandwidth wifi, and smaller spaces that people can use for smaller meetings. </li><li>Food / coffee: depending on the structure and audience of your event, food may be needed. Some form of snacks is almost necessary. </li><li>Participant travel: In some cases, a goal of the hackathon is to bring together people from a particular research community, or that are all associated with a particular project. If people are not geographically co-located, this will entail some travel, and that needs to be budgeted.</li><li>Equipment: Often, the equipment that is needed (E.g., projectors, white-boards, etc.) is provided as part of the venue, but consider needs you might have. If, for example, the event that you are organizing is hybrid (with some participants logging through zoom), you might want to consider purchasing an OWL camera, which can make collaboration with online participants more pleasant and effective.</li><li>Cloud computing</li><li>Jupyterhub: In some cases, you may want to provision a uniform computing environment. One relatively easy way to do that is to partner with 2i2c (<a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://2i2c.org/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738881521&amp;usg=AOvVaw2VAz2UFbY-lxDfoK1ym4uR\">https://2i2c.org/</a>) to deploy such an environment that is accessible. </li></ul><h1 id=\"h.1fq4p26ocude\">Potential funding sources </h1><p>US Federal funders: </p><ul><li>National Institutes for Health: </li></ul><ul><li>The R25 mechanism: \u00a0<a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://researchtraining.nih.gov/programs/other-training-related/R25&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738881954&amp;usg=AOvVaw0m9z0eOgvy2sHtJh_OuDmW\">https://researchtraining.nih.gov/programs/other-training-related/R25</a></li></ul><ul><li>Examples: </li></ul><ul><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-22-095.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882166&amp;usg=AOvVaw3-LwZRzOQzrkQKWjDKAgxT\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-22-095.html</a>\u00a0</li><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-24-200.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882318&amp;usg=AOvVaw3y4USUFScDE-0TRjYLbnPa\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-24-200.html</a>\u00a0</li><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-24-074.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882464&amp;usg=AOvVaw09p8eipkGI5UqFh_pMs3UT\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-24-074.html</a>\u00a0</li><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-23-265.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882613&amp;usg=AOvVaw0G9nfE_YXpwYezKxOhyLC1\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-23-265.html</a>\u00a0</li><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-22-000.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882767&amp;usg=AOvVaw3y7n-QMVQXPx0HrCKrufer\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-22-000.html</a>\u00a0</li><li><a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-23-114.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738882939&amp;usg=AOvVaw1XUkidZwHzrq-vkTiklnDX\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-23-114.html</a></li><li>\u2026</li></ul><ul><li>The R13 mechanism: <a class=\"c1\" href=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-25-080.html&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1740496738883151&amp;usg=AOvVaw1pEt_rIVwdNDLTSw7y7YdZ\">https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-25-080.html</a>\u00a0</li><li>NIH STRIDES program</li></ul><p></p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Advantages of NIH funding: Can be pretty substantial, and recurring for several years. </p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Disadvantages: Requires a lot of advance planning.
