Recap of CloudFest hackathon

When you hear ‘CloudFest’, many people associate it with a business-to-business event, which it is, but the hackathon in the run-up to it still has a certain degree of community character. On the initiative of Andreas Heigl (@heiglandreas@andreas.heigl.org) and the support of Matthias Pfefferle (@pfefferle), this year’s hackathon provided the resources and space for an exchange of ideas around ‘federated events’.

Our group was one of the largest and very diverse. We used the first day primarily to exchange ideas about our goals and the status quo. Afterwards, we reviewed and improved existing features and developed prototypes and concepts for new ones.

For me as a developer of the WordPress plugin Event Bridge For ActivityPub, the best thing about these days was to finally get to know the entire WordPress/Automattic team involved with ActivityPub in person (greetings to @mattwiebe and @obenland).

I would like to emphasise a few achievements in particular, without neglecting the achievements of all:

  • Matthias Heigl took the time to take an intensive look at the FEP-8a8e. His many years of experience with the development of calendar features and iCal provided important suggestions for making the specification even more far-sighted.
  • Laura (working-directory.com/) helped to reduce the barriers new developers face when experimenting with the interaction of Gancio/Mobilizon and WordPress and others.
  • Finally, many thanks to Cloudfest for the great organisation and hosting!

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has plans to stage a “#hackathon” next week in Washington, DC.
The goal is to create a single “mega API”
—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another
—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project.
#Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and #Musk associate Peter #Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.

Treffe immer noch Leute, die behaupten, auf #Mastodon fehle es „an Reichweite“.

Ich halte dagegen und sage dann, dass das #Fediversum der richtige Ort sei, um beispielsweise einen #Hackathon gegen #Antisemitismus und das 1. Fediverse-Vernetzungstreffen am 19. Mai 2025 in #Stuttgart bekannt zu machen. 🙌✅

2-day physical Hackathon, held in Luxembourg on April 8th and 9th, 2025, focuses on the development of free and open-source software for cybersecurity. We aim to convene diverse developer groups to collaborate on complex programming challenges within key cybersecurity areas, such as information sharing, threat intelligence, network and system forensics, data mining, network and computer exploitation, and defense techniques.

I am just back from an awesome #hackathon at the #cloudfest

We're hacking on exciting projects like NixOS config diffing, Tvix/Snix, interpreterless initrd, and better Go support in nixpkgs. But it's not all code—we're also enjoying BBQ, mountain biking, hiking, and surfing in beautiful Lanzarote!

Great code, great people, and great vibes. Can't wait to see what we build next!
