The hackathon took place at the Microsoft Development Center de Lyngby, Copenhaguen. 

Wednesday 10 April 2019

The third edition of CopenHacks, Denmark's largest hackathon, was held at the Microsoft Development Center on April 6 and 7, 2019. For 24 hours, hackers have programmed with all their strength to materialize their ideas in the form of projects both software and hardware. This year's edition was in charge of Nermeen and Oscar Faixat, former student of the FIB.

The team made up of FIBers Oriol Closa (Erasmus at KTH, Sweden), Joaquim de la Cruz (founder and CEO of www.splitapp.one), David Campos (Erasmus at the University of Łódź, Poland and SICUE at FIB) and Francisco Martínez (Erasmus at ITU, Copenhagen) has won the second prize of the event. Their project, Drawploy, was to create a progressive web application (PWA) to recognize handmade diagrams of virtual machines and automatically deploy to the Google Cloud Platform. The project uses Cognitive Services from Microsoft Azure to detect text in diagrams, the OpenCV library to recognize drawn shapes, and the Google Cloud Platform API to deploy machines and cloud services.
