CW20 - 2020-03-31 to 2020-04-02 Beta - HP2-CW20 Hackday Idea Proposer Emmy (slack @Emmy Tsang) Context / Research Domain Many collaborative events / workshops are moving online because of the COVID-19 situation; but more generally– can we run events like the CW hackday online, and what would it take?
