In this episode of Dev Pulse, hosts discuss CloudFest 2025, highlighting unique event experiences, innovative hackathon projects, networking opportunities, and a preview of upcoming CloudFest USA in Miami.

In this episode of Open Web Conversations, Adam Weeks discusses the CloudFest Hackathon with Greyd’s Jessica Lyschik and Jakob Trost, exploring innovations, community contributions, and enhancing WordPress.

Patricia and Dennis discuss their CMS Freedom project at the CloudFest Hackathon, aiming to simplify system transitions and preserve online content. They emphasize teamwork, learning, and the value of contributions beyond coding.

My favorite place to post about #hackathons with a charitable or "for good" focus, #hacks4good, #apps4good, community tech centers, #ICT4D, ethics regarding such, & all things #Tech4Good went away.

If you feel that's something's wrong with it, you may check the "Half-Ass Episode" by #srslywrong.

"Doing a half-assed job of anything is widely disparaged in our society, but why is that? Who decided these ass requirements? Are these reasonable ass expectations? How much ass does each of us truly have to give?"
