In this one day event, we will be having 3 parallel tracks running at the same time:
Ruby On Rails, Blender and Wikipedia.
The participants in each track would collaborate with each other and Brain-Storm together to Hack on a real-time project, which will, of course be a Free Software.
Each of the 3 tracks would be assigned with one or more mentors from that respective fields/communities, who would guide them through and beyond the Hackathon.
