Disclaimer: CNCF and the CNCF Heidelberg community are not hosting the hackathon itself or at any way sponsored by the organizers. You need to cover your costs related to attending the event! We just like the idea and feel our community can contribute and have an impact by brining CNCF knowledge on-site.

Associated costs: €19 for your ticket. You can use these funds to buy food and drinks. Please register directly at https://hackfestival.de/.

Have you heard about the Hack Festival (hackathon) "Decarbonize the planet"?

The event will take place on-site in Rosengarten (Mannheim) on the weekend of September 6-8! It could be an interesting opportunity to put in action your cloud native engineering skills and your CNCF projects knowledge! You can meet members of the CNCF Heidelberg community and other hackathon participants looking for help or consultation on-site! Our community will organize a meet up point with a „CNCF Heidelberg“ banner starting with the snack break after the opening session. You can join us around 17:30 on Friday 6th Sept in the snack break area, then break out in convenient location for joint hands-on work or exchange over a beverage of choice.

The goal of our community would be to participate actively hands-on in the hackathon teams and encourage participants to leverage CNCF & LF projects and open source technologies to address the selected business problems.

Here are your benefits in brief:

• You don't need any prior experience with hackathons! The hackathon goal is to set up diverse teams from the areas of Tech and Sustainability!
• High visibility and prize money (>10.000 €) for the best ideas!
• Exciting lectures and workshops, including one by the German astronaut Alexander Gerst!
• Contact with strong partners and challenge setters, including Google, SAP, AWS, Schwarz, Roche, KION, and many more!
• Fun creatively solving challenging problems with your innovative ideas!
• Learn new skills and many networking opportunities!
