Was this planned months back or was it something immediate ? Would have loved to attend it if I knew about it from before.

Seems similar events also happened in other countries these past few months. Title: Re: [2015-07-30] ET: Hackathon to explore uses of bitcoin tech to build apps Post by: Benson Samuel on July 30, 2015, 08:05:05 PM Yeah, did seem quite rushed and last minute.

Is any write up available on what happened at the seminar ?

Had about 30 people in the room.

They go around the world, offering a paid crash course on bitcoin, which is actually a course on how to use blockchain API etc to build bitcoin 2.0 applications. After the course they organize a hackathon, so people can build apps based on what they have learned. Last week they conducted the course at Infosys. Now the BSE. The hackathon at BSE is a part of global hackathon that anyone can participate in, this weekend. Physically it is happening in 3 locations around the world - Mumbai, Buenos Aires, San Fransisco - but anyone can participate online by joining their slack channel. Search for it on meetup.com ; it's called "Decentralize All The Things" Twitter handle is @BlockchainU which has many pics from the Infy hackathon. Personally, I like this but it is funny to me for various reasons.
