Unikraft Munich Hackathon '22
Last weekend, we had yet another successful hackathon with plenty of hard work. But this one was special since it was organized in München.
Grüß Gott, München!#
Last weekend, we had yet another successful hackathon with plenty of hard work. But this one was special since it was organized in München. It was the 3rd international onsite hackathon, after the ones in Lyon and Aachen. From the Unikraft community, Răzvan and Radu were there, whereas other community members provided support online, on Discord (special thanks to Ștefan).
Over 30 participants came to Technische Universität München for the 2-day event about unikernels.
This is the highest attendance for an onsite Unikraft Hackathon event!
Make Open Source Contributions Great Again!#
On the first day, there were sessions about configuring, building, running, and debugging applications with Unikraft.
The participants were given initial information about the topics and then they dove deep into understanding the principles behind the unikernels.
They were very active in reporting new issues.
The second day started with Răzvan's talk and demo on Binary Compatibility.
Then, the folks created teams of 3-4 people, got an entry for each team in the scoreboard then started solving hackathon challenges.
Results speak for themselves:
- 6 PRs submitted as part of the
static-pie-appsrepository - PR for version bump of
newlib - PR for version bump of
zlib - 2 issues in the core
unikraftrepository
All contributions were awarded points that made it to the scoreboard.
Special Thanks#
We are very grateful to Pramod, Charalampos, Jorg, Sophia and Nitinder for a warm welcome and very good organization, without which this hackathon would have been impossible.
Many more to come!
