The hackathon is kindly sponsored by Zed. Here's what they have to say:

"Come hack on Zed with the Zed team! We'll be demoing our new agentic editing experience and the long awaited debugger!"

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 (https://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.

It's incredible how machine learning/AI tools have transformed what can be piloted in a cultural heritage data hackathon. The recent AI4Culture hackathon is a great example https://pro.europeana.eu/post/how-ai-is-transforming-digital-cultural-heritage

There's a video too https://vimeo.com/showcase/11633699/

Day two of #TheFinalCountdown is slowly winding down.
Today's session included a lot of #coding and #networking for our participants. They also had the chance to listen to Gabriele Messori, who shared his insights into Data-driven forecasts of extreme events and impact #forecasting with a focus on extreme heat events and their impacts on mortality rates across Germany.

Tomorrow, the groups will present their first interim results. Stay tuned!

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.

Wer könnte mir durchs Reposten und Kommentieren bitte beistehen? #GegenjedenAntisemitismus #GegenjedenDualismus https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/hashtag-hackathon-fediverse-komposita-der-hoffnung/

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ️?

Wer die #Demokratie gegenüber dem brutalen #Fossilismus antisozialer Konzernmedien bewahren will, kann dafür täglich etwas im #Fediversum tun. Warum auch #Hashtags und unser #Hackathon gegen #Antisemitismus Hoffnung stiften, blogge ich hier. Sehen wir uns am 19. Mai 2025 zu einem oder gleich zwei Terminen in #Stuttgart? https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/hashtag-hackathon-fediverse-komposita-der-hoffnung/
