Abstract:
The HackOverflow is a web site designed to
address the problem of communication of IT related events to
the IT community. The survey conducted using few universities
and IT students indicated that a majority of members were
unable to attend the IT related events such as Hackathons and
Meetups because of the late or no communication of events.
The HackOverflow system was implemented with capability to
maintain a mailing list and a forum. This was implemented in
order to improve the interaction among IT field professionals
and students. The system has a forum that people can bring in
discussion on various matters related to hackathons and other
events. Also the system contains a discussion forum that can
bring in discussions on a desired hot topic. The system provides
capabilities for registered users to post event, meetups or
hackathons. The users can include all the necessary
information related to the particular event type. Also the posts
are emailed to the registered subscribers so that they can get to
know about the posted events as and when they are posted. The
posted events contain discussion section attached too, so that
the interested community can carry out discussion to obtain
more information
