Partnership Guidelines
theDevArmy Community Partnership Guidelines
This document outlines the framework for collaborations between theDevArmy, theHackCalendar, and external hackathon organizers. Our goal is to create high-impact, mutual benefits that strengthen the Indian hackathon ecosystem and provide maximum value to our Indian hackers.
Eligibility Criteria
To maintain the quality and accessibility of our recommendations, a hackathon must meet the following "Core Four" requirements:
Free Participation: The event must be 100% free of cost for all participants.
Duration: The hacking period must be a minimum of 24 hours.
Inclusivity: The event must be open to participants from all backgrounds and skill levels.
Code of Conduct: A clear, written, and enforceable Code of Conduct must be provided to all attendees.
What theDevArmy Delivers
Once a partnership is approved, we deploy our community resources to boost your event's reach:
Official Listing: Guaranteed inclusion on theHackCalendar, the go-to resource for Indian hackers.
WhatsApp Blitz: Promotion within our WhatsApp Community (5,000+ members).
Discord Spotlight: Dedicated promotion within theDevArmy Discord (1,200+ builders).
The Monthly Newsletter: A featured slot in our monthly newsletter (1000+ subscribers), ensuring your registration link reaches dedicated inboxes, provided that registrations are open during the newsletter’s release schedule.
Social Media Ecosystem: Inclusion in our monthly "Mega Hackathon" posts across Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter), provided that registrations are open during the newsletter’s release schedule.
Partner Deliverables
In exchange for theDevArmy’s promotional support, we expect organizers to:
Amplify theHackCalendar: Share theHackCalendar details with your entire applicant pool via your primary communication channel (Email, Discord, or WhatsApp). We will provide the ready-to-use graphics and copy.
Standard Partnership Perks: Inclusion of theDevArmy/theHackCalendar logos on your website/marketing materials and any other perks typically offered to community partners (e.g., social media shoutouts or community logos on-site).
