CloudFest Hackathon #7

Goal-Oriented Open-Source Projects

We’re keeping the tradition alive by solely focusing on projects that resonate with our core principles. All projects are a testament to our commitment to the OS communities and will be not-for-profit, interoperable, and of course open-source.

Got a great idea for a hackathon project? Wondering about its trajectory post-hackathon?
You won’t be sailing this ship alone: it’s time to meet your mentors!

Let’s Hack!

Riding high on the success of previous years, we’re gearing up for the 7th edition of the CloudFest Hackathon, tailored on feedback and what resonated most with our participants.

We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome web professionals from every niche of the cloud, tech and OS industries to the scenic Europa-Park in Rust. Together let’s innovate, hack, and discover solutions for real-world OS challenges while having a blast!

Our focus remains true: fostering a friendly competitive spirit among projects, enhancing social interactions, and offering unparalleled networking opportunities for our enthusiastic hackers.

Take part in a monumental CloudFest Hackathon in 2024.
