We are very open with what teams want to implement.

There are just a few conditions:
- it has to be in technology
- it must be innovative
- you must have a working demo at the end of the event

yes, there is a track for people who want to do commercial projects, but
this is not and should not be the norm. As i said, our position for the
event is that we only provide the space, food, wifi, t-shirts ... and it's
up to each team to find an idea, organize themselves, and decide what kind
of project they want to work on
