First Hackathon Report

Summary
The results of the first of the two hackathons, which are targeted at a broader audience, will serve to both showcase the results of the first round of pipeline developments in a hands-on manner (and return valuable feedback) and to identify specific big data challenges to be addressed in the next round. A public report communicating the outcomes is therefore seen as a valuable tool for communicating project progress, especially those of a technical nature for the interest of relevant big data developer communities.
