We are proud to announce the first ever MesosCon Europe hackathon on Friday, October 9th, 2015. This event is an opportunity to contribute to the project, learn from other members of the community, and build some fantastic hacks.
The hackathon is being sponsored by Joyent, and, though not required, participants are invited to use Joyent's cloud during the hack day. Joyent is offering each participant substantial service credits in their cloud to kickstart work and continue hacking after the event.
We are challenging participants to hack on Mesos in two categories:
Additionally, Joyent is offering a container-native bonus award to one hack in each of the above categories that best leverages Joyent‘s Triton bare metal container infrastructure. Joyent’s judges may award the container-native bonus at their discretion.
These rules are subject to change. Please hack the code, not the rules: if you think you‘re doing something that’s against the rules or that gives you an unfair advantage, you probably shouldn't do it.
