Find more information in the Spinnaker Gardening area on the Spinnaker website. Read about what to hack, hackathon logistics, development environment setup, and more!

This collaborative online hackathon will bring Spinnaker user companies together to address open-source feature requirements and build plugins to extend the ecosystem.

Project ideas will come from participating companies, so bring your key initiatives to the table. Pitch a project and recruit a team. We'll explore your ideas as a community, and take action with expert guidance. Register today and grow Spinnaker with us!

Once you're registered, Get started in the Spinnaker Hackathon Gardening respository and Spinnaker Slack, where you can share and discuss project ideas.

Event sponsor Salesforce will attend with a team of developers led by Edgar Magana, founder of the new Operations SIG (Special Interest Group). Spinnaker champions will share expertise and answer your questions in an exclusive panel discussion, and training sessions will run concurrently to project work.
