We're nearing the start of the competition and we want to give you a heads up on a few things.

Regarding submissions, you will be required to create a Git repo and submit the link as part of your submission. We will be accepting repositories from IBM BlueMix DevOps Services (JazzHub), Github, and Bitbucket.

For each, you will have to give us access to your repo. For IBM JazzHub, you can add a member to your project from the Members page. You will need to invite [email protected] to your project. For GitHub, you can add collaborators to your repo from the Settings page. You will need to add CODE-EDOC as a collaborator. For Bitbucket, you can add users to your repo from the Settings page. You will need to add CODE-EDOC under Access Management.

If you are planning on creating a website, you will need to host it yourself and submit a link as part of your submission. DigitalOcean will be providing $15 credit to all CODE participants for hosting. This is enough to run a 512MB VPS instance for 3 months. You can email [email protected] and request a code.

Namecheap is providing free .me domain names for students with an email from any accredited post secondary institution. Just go to code.nc.me/ to get your free domain. If you are a professional, you can also get a free domain - just email us at [email protected] to request a CODE.

For mobile apps, we will be testing all apps on the latest versions of iOS and Android. If you have any specific instructions for testing (e.g. optimized for iPhone 5S), please include these in your submission.

Good luck to everyone and we hope you have a great time this weekend!
