After the success of the competition last year, we have decided to run the 12 Days of FME Hackathon again for 2018!

 

What is the 12 Days of FME Hackathon?

The 12 Days of FME Hackathon is where we give users (that's you) 12 days (starting right now!) to work on and submit your project as a reply to this question. Your project can be anything that you've built with FME. For more ideas and inspiration, you can check out the submissions from last year.

Anyone who enters this Holiday Hackathon will be in with the chance to win a one-of-a-kind FME prize pack - containing a Temperature Controlled Ceramic Mug, FME Slippers, FME Sweater, FME Grill Set and FME Tie.

To win - your submission must have the most votes when we close the voting on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 12:00 noon PST. Don't worry - voting won't open until after the submissions deadline has passed. Any votes placed before that won't count.

So, you have 12 days to work on and submit a project and share it with the rest of the community.

 

 

Don't forget to give the 2019 betas a try or put that home licence to good use!

 

 

To enter the 12 Days of FME Hackathon, answer this question with:
  • The title of your project;
  • A brief description of your project (why you did this, what purpose does it serve);
  • A file containing your project. This could be a workspace, FME Server project, custom transformer...
  • Videos or images to enhance your submission (optional)
  • Upload your creation to FME Hub (optional)

 

This question will be closed at 12pm PST Wednesday 12th December 2018, where the answers will be available to vote on but submissions will no longer be allowed.

 

The winner will be the submission that has the most votes at on Tuesday Dec 18th at 12:00pm PST.

VOTES ON ANSWERS BEFORE THE VOTING PERIOD WILL NOT COUNT

(Please don’t vote until then, as they will be removed)

T&Cs apply

Is this only for you? Apparently I've earned 3 mince pies by doing nothing today xD

Yes, only linked to my fitbit data for the example - no mince pies for you


I think it's all good now 🙂 Good luck to everyone!

I still can't see them :(


If anybody has ideas for a TimeExpander transformer, I would be able to work on an idea for this Hackaton.

I am just too busy to be able to have some "out of work" fun with FME.

Maybe next year.

Good luck everybody!

What about the timemanagement transformer that features timeshrink and timeexpxander, which shrinks mundane tasks like work, and expands fun tasks like bicycling :D


I still can't see them :(

Very weird. It was working on Chrome but not on FF or IE. But now it should work on all browsers... well I cross my fingers! Never thought that the hardest part of this contest would be to put pictures on my post! hahahaha


Title: Laugh (on a schedule)

Description: Its December, the holidays are nearly on us and of course what we need is a little extra email. Yes! Who doesn't need more email! With this workspace you too can receive a few extra emails, but this time generated by FME and containing something to make you laugh "on a schedule". The process is designed for scheduling because only you know best when you need cheering up the most! Simply download the workspace, punch in your email details into the published parameters and define your own email web connection and you're away, just schedule the process with FME Desktop, Server or Cloud to be amused by the wonderful https://xkcd.com/, a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language...on a schedule!

Here's an example of what you'll get to delight you, in your inbox:

...and if you'd like to get FREE, yes I know, I did say FREE... access to FME Cloud to run the process on over the holiday season, https://console.fmecloud.safe.com/signup?referrer=9W6m1IwoenZ-pOHNGeFtRk3ykyM" target="_blank">just click this link and follow the instructions!

File containing your project: XKCD_randomcomic_emailer.fmw

Techniques this process demonstrates:

  • The benefits of scheduling and creating anything as-a-service with FME.
  • The ability to connect to any API, no matter how obscure or trivial <cough>.
  • FeatureReading instead of Reading!
  • Building HTML with FME. I know, right!
  • The wonder of never reaching inbox zero. It's a myth anyway...

Happy Holidays one and all.

Hello FME users!

This is my proposal for the Hackathon 2018.

Title : Financial Market Exchange process

Description : Your favorite movie is The Wolf of Wall Street? You always wanted to become a stock-broker? Then FME is here to help you to keep an eye on all your favorite company quotes in realtime. This Financial Market Exchange workspace will sumarize everything for you into an Excel file sent by email.

More informations explained into the workspace.

Download from the FME Hub

I don't know what happened, but since I started using this, all my shares have gone up in value! I'm very impressed. Thanks. I hope it continues to bring me good luck ;-)

Maybe because of my script you'll be able to buy a much bigger house than Dale's new one :P


@FMELizard shouldn't submissions be closed & voting open?


Hi there,

After discovering that my initial idea for a custom reader was already supported by FME, I have decided to turn it completely around and make something for fun.

Title: CatFun

Description: A workspace to help you enjoy a moment of fun in your busy day.

My project can be found at the FME Hub or here catfun.fmwt

 

Don't forget to setup the Emailer transformer!

This hackathon should be a yearly FME tradition!

PS. I also do really want that FME tie.....;)

Just got to thinking about trying to develop a workspace that would pull in info/photos of local pets up for adoption like from petfinder.com (: meow
