All Things CloudFest 2024 Hackathon
An inside look at the CloudFest 2024 Hackathon — the cross-ecosystem build event where WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and other communities ship open-source projects together over a few days. Covers the format, the cross-CMS collaboration model, and the charitable and diversity initiatives wrapped around it.
As a project mentor, Alain joins hackathon head Carole Olinger and CloudFest CEO Christian Jäger to preview the seventh and largest edition — around 140 participants across eleven projects spanning multiple CMS ecosystems. They discuss why projects deliberately cross platform boundaries, from CMS health checks to accessibility work, and the sponsor-funded awards routing proceeds to Groundbreaker Talents.
