International Space Apps Challenge


International Space Apps Challenge is a 48 hour hackathon, bringing together professionals from different fields such as scientists, designers, engineers, programmers and students to develop solutions to global challenges proposed by NASA and their partners.
The event combines the principles of openness, voluntary participation and cooperation, using the available data and technology supplied by NASA, talent, and skill of volunteers from all over the planet to advance space exploration and improve the quality of life both on Earth and outside it.
Using open data and APIs available in 5 directions to solve more than 40 global tasks aimed at improving the life of mankind on earth and outside it. (Part of the assignments by students is translated into — Russian language, the truth still more translations waiting for his editing and uploading)

This year, the date coincided with the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space. Around the world will be Yuri's Night and probably one of the best ways to celebrate this holiday is to come to Space Apps, or to participate remotely (if you live far away from St. Petersburg or Ivanovo) and to show that we have much to be proud of not only in the past but in the present.
On behalf of the organizers of the local events we invite all interested (and I encourage especially students) to come and participate. It's enough to be registered, specify one of the venues and choose the most interesting topic for you. It is worth noting that St. Petersburg Space Apps will kick off with the evening on the 11th, and Ivanovo on April 12 in the morning.

International Space Apps Challenge in Ivanovo


In Ivanovo the event is held on the database — Institute of management, Finance and information systems Ivanovo state University of chemistry and technology. As the official partner stands firm .

This year it is expected a large number of participants, it is the team from various universities: high quality, Energy University, IVGU, participants from YSU, teams and team members Akvelon Akvelon and Yaroslavl team of the. and participants from other universities and organizations.
Judging by the results of the preliminary planning activities, the main focus for Space Apps in Ivanovo will be robotics, although there are absolutely no restrictions to the choice of direction.

Last year on the basis of high quality, has conducted the event, which briefly told. But to attract attention and dilute dry text, leaving a couple photos.




For doubters to participate or not to participate (especially students) want to say that the last event was very interesting and useful, and sometimes very funny. So once again urge everyone to come and participate, get new, and sometimes invaluable experience, and shock work to celebrate the day of Astronautics.
In conclusion, I would like to Express my gratitude to all those who expressed their desire (and those who signed up, the special thanks) to participate in the event and try to make our world a better place.

More than a year ago, Google announced that from now on in their search is the mysterious Knowledge Network (an official translation of the Knowledge Graph). Perhaps not everyone knows that a significant part of the data Network available for anyone to use and available via well described APIs. This part is the knowledge base Freebase, supported by Google and enthusiasts. In this article, we first a little nuts, and then try to do a few simple queries in MQL. This article is the second of the knowledge Base.

Group edit the resources (documents) using MIGXDB

I wonder the opportunities offered by component MIGX from Bruno17 for MODX Revolution . While he looks clumsy and there are mistakes, but the critical problem. All that is written in this article important for MIGX version 2.5.8-pl (the latter at the moment). / > Many people use MIGX for creating photo galleries , but its functionality is not limited. A real designer to manage data of any database tables. You can even display a list of child resources (documents of MODX) in any container. This will be discussed in this article. Something I learned from documentation MIGDB but, as I understand, it is already rather outdated and much of what is described there simply doesn't work. I will tell you how to make a table with nested resources: 1. Open "Components" -> "MIGX". Go to the tab "MIGX". Click "Add item". 2. On the "Settings" tab to enter a name (Name) of the configuration, for example "ch
