The SSHOC’n Tell Challenge was a hackathon run parallel to SSHOC’s final conference, Advancing SSH Research with SSHOCingly good and sustainable resources, with the aim of getting users to test out SSHOC tools and create compelling real-user stories. The challenge resulted in a total of 6 user stories which have been published on Zenodo and on the SSHOC website.

The winner of the SSHOC’n Tell Challenge was the user story Localizing tools by Amelia Sanz, María Robles, Adrián Menéndez de la Cuesta from Complutense University of Madrid. They examined the UX of the SSH Open Marketplace as well as how it could become more usable for Spanish speaking users. Read more here.
