Nightscout Foundation hackdiabetes
The projects that the Nightscout Foundation supports continue the great work within the Open Source community. We are Paying It Forward since all development is driven by volunteers - the unpaid heroes whose brilliance the Type 1 community counts on to make life easier. #WeAreNotWaiting
Each year, the Nightscout Foundation sponsors the HackDiabetes conference. This event allows in-person conferencing and development sessions that are filled with exciting new ideas and new processes to make life with Type 1 Diabetes easier and healthier. Bringing the contributors and developers together in one location has only improved prior Nightscout-supported projects.
YOU CAN BE PART OF HACKDIABETES!
By making a personal donation to The Nightscout Foundation using the link below, you’ll be able to sponsor attendance at the conference. We encourage you to help the Foundation afford to underwrite attendance and allow the Foundation to continue to offer these brainstorming and problem-solving events. Your support truly powers all of this work.
Here’s how your sponsorship and/or donation can make a difference:
Become a Sponsor!
Hackathon Sponsorship Levels:
$5,000 – Double Stack Scholarship: Same as the Full Stack Scholarship, times two. Two developers/volunteers, fully covered, because redundancy isn’t just good practice in OS-AID development.
$2,500 – Full Stack Scholarship: Covers flight, hotel, and food for a developer. The literal Full Stack: getting someone from “wants to be there” to “actually in the room”
$1,250 – OS-AID (Overpriced Snacks And Inedible Dinner): Airfare for an attendee. Turbulence over the Rockies, not included.
$750 - IOB (In Our Beds): Provide a place for developers and volunteers to rest their heads after a full day of solving our problems
$500 - HACK (Heroes Accessing Closed Knowledge): Reverse engineering, protocol documentation, and the unglamorous work of making a device do what its owner actually needs. "Hacker" is a compliment here.
$250 – OREF (Onsite Refreshments, Endlessly Flowing): An all-day snack and drink table that never quite empties
Become a Premier Supporter!
$15 – COB (Caffeine on Board): Give developers a good cuppa coffee so they don’t have to rely on Tim Hortons
$25 – UAM (Utterly Aggressive Munching): Give attendees some yummy snacks to keep them going
$50 – FPU (Fully Powered Up): A pile of charging cables so nobody's laptop flatlines
$100 – GIT (Grub In Time): Feed the whole room during the late-night push
Thanks for being part of the larger Nightscout Community! Every little bit helps!
*The HackDiabetes “Hackathon” is a conference that brings together developers, clinicians, and researchers from around the world to share their knowledge and support further development of DIY solutions for diabetics everywhere.
