Driven By Data
Dribdat (from "driven by data") is an open source web application, featuring a playful ideation and challenge board to help organize short sprints, co-creative sessions, hackdays and awesome hackathons with batteries included.

Purpose
Built around Web-friendly standards like Schema.org and Frictionless Data, Dribdat is an (MIT licensed) part of an open source ecosystem, featuring bootstraps (authentication, file uploading, data import/export, etc.), useful workflows (announce an event - publish challenges - form teams - develop projects) and channels (social media sharing, digital signage, summary reports).
Dribdat events typically involve open licenses (Creative Commons, Open Data Commons, etc.), community-developed templates (School of Data Pipeline), and governance instruments (Hack Code of Conduct). This is the official platform of Opendata.ch - Swiss chapter of Open Knowledge, and has been used to host dozens of events in the Swiss open data, open hardware, and open source community.
Our project started from a Cookiecutter, striving in itself to be an example of a hackable project that can be adapted to other needs and causes.
It can be used just as a Python-powered backend to aggregate data from Gitea, GitHub, GitLab and other repositories and fileshares in one place.
There is a Vue.js-based Backboard app and a Node.js Chatbot available as alternatives to the default Bootstrap user interface, easily customized with a bit of CSS.
You can customize the layout and presets in an admin panel, or with YAML configuration files.
There is more on this in the User Guide and Whitepaper.
