- HXRC Showroom – a state-of-the-art immersive demo space.
What we expect from you
- Dedication – show that you care about what you do by devoting your time to the project and by meeting the goals that you set.
- Participation – we want you to show up and make most of the events and facilities that are made available to you.
- Engagement – stay committed to the best practices and communication channels of the hub, engage with your colleagues, exchange ideas, give and receive feedback.
- Initiative – present your own solutions for building the community, events, mentoring, and your work.
Using the space and its equipment does not cost anything nor bind the team in any way. All the work and rights to it stay within the developing team.
Two-stage development programOur development program is based on a periodical, peer-reviewed format with individual goals for each team or project:
1: A three-month trial period where the central idea of your vision is fleshed out, resulting in a demo. Can you show the skill and resolve to produce something concrete and showcase it to other members of our community, and be open to the feedback from others? Teams that have already reached a higher maturity level will have their goals adjusted accordingly.
Also, as this is a community effort, we place particular significance on being present in our weekly in-house meeting, and regular engagement with other developers. The Hub is not meant for stay-at-home teams.
2: Continuation periods for three months at a time, where we set up a roadmap and development path together for the next 12 months, driven by the team, and follow up on progress at three month intervals with deadlines. The mission is to keep the team on a good track and ambitious pace while leaving room for trial and error, necessary pivoting and learning.
