My first. https://lamia.fi/lamia-flow-hackathon

09:34AM Here it starts! Taking a train to Helsinki, as I am en route to downtown Helsinki – departing from Hyvinkää. This is one of the oldest train stations in Finland. A signpost says:

The Lamia Flow – HSL Hackathon was personally a first for me. It was really interesting experience. Teams were easily formed, and my team was about utilizing 3D rendering plugin for Blender 2.79. The idea was to visualize in a better way how bus are situated in real world.

Altogether there were many interesting presentations. All teams prepared fully working or raw demos of the ideas, too.

Check out two videos from Lamia about the event.
