Blip provided the venue where the international teams worked together during the Hacking Heroes hackathon in Porto.

Mike helped establish the collaboration between Hacking Heroes and Blip, making it possible for the hackathon to take place at the company's venue.

The standing of this archive

This website is a historical archive of a project that ended on 31 October 2017. It is not an official Erasmus+ publication, and it is not endorsed by, funded by or affiliated with any of the organisations named above. Their support was for the original project.

Biographical information describes people as they were during the project, drawn from documents written in 2016, unless a section is explicitly headed Today. Gaps in the record are marked visibly rather than filled in, and nothing on this site is inferred, reconstructed or invented.

People and consent

If you appear in this archive and would like your page published, corrected, restricted or removed, that request will be honoured without argument.

Accessibility

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. In practice that means:

  • Every colour pairing used for text is verified against the standard by an automated check that runs on every build.
  • All content is present in the served HTML. Nothing requires JavaScript to read, and the navigation, filters and galleries all work without it.
  • Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator.
  • Animation is opt-in. If your system requests reduced motion, you get the finished design with nothing moving — not a degraded version.
  • Photographs carry descriptive alternative text.

If you hit something that does not work with your assistive technology, that is a defect and worth reporting.

Contact and corrections

This archive is incomplete by construction, and corrections are more useful to it than praise. Recollections, photographs, documents, names, dates and outright contradictions of what is written here are all welcome.

It is maintained by Dominik Kościelak, Hacking Heroes co-founder.
