We are bringing colleagues from around the world together to host the first Hackathon in Bitmovin’s history that is dedicated to charity. We have been very fortunate to be able to focus our skills on something we love, changing the world of video. Over the course of the next few days, we are excited to give back by dedicating our skills to changing the world the best way we know how, by hacking. Their time and know-how will be focused on the development of new technologies that should increase our partners efficiency so that they can spend their time to help others rather than on less important tasks such as daily admin work.
The Hackathon will start on Thursday 16th of May at 3p.m. CET and will run until Monday 20th of May 3 pm CET.
