PixelsCamp, a hackathon is reborn

Hackathon’s are pretty cool, but here in Portugal they’re also quite rare. For years we had Codebits, organized by the web dev arm of the biggest telecom provider in Portugal and it was sweet. Regretably though, 2014 was the last year it was organized. A €1B scandal and almost bankruptcy that forced the telecom provider to be sold to the highest bidder probably made sure Codebits would not return.

But people are cooler than companies, so the original founders of the conference/hackathon got together, now in a new company, and they put together an awesome come back of the most amazing event for hackers in Portugal. I can’t imagine all the work that went into putting it together. I’m also pretty sure it was the biggest attendance ever with over one thousand people in LX Factory. I remember previous ones having around eight hundred people, with a bigger venue. Things were cozy this year!
