Greetings contributors, Now that it's leaking out, I wanted to give a tiny bit more information about an upcoming virtual hackathon for Apache Geode sponsored by the Pivotal Open Source Hub community.
The Hackathon is called "Ambitious Apps at Amazing Scale - a hackathon for Apache Geode". The goal is to generate as many interesting example applications for Apache Geode as possible. We have some cool prizes planned - more on those when the details are announced. The Ambitious Apps at Amazing Scale hackathon details will be announced at a Meetup in SF on 6/28 to kick off the In-Memory Computing Summit. http://www.meetup.com/Pivotal-Open-Source-Hub/events/223356680/ The hackathon winners will be announced on 7/23 towards the end of the OSCON conference. All work will happen virtually. One important thing to mention is eligibility. Employees of Pivotal Software, their household members, employees of Pivotal customers - according to their company gifting policies, employees of any government agencies are not eligible to win a prize in the hackathon contest. We are still determining from which countries residents will be eligible to participate. We are looking for volunteers in the capacity of judges and technical tutors. If you are an experienced Pivotal GemFire or Apache Geode user, and fall into one of the above ineligible categories, we'd love to have you as a volunteer! -- Greg Chase Director of Big Data Communities http://www.pivotal.io/big-data Pivotal Software http://www.pivotal.io/ 650-215-0477 @GregChase Blog: http://geekmarketing.biz/
