Sitecore Hackathon 2020

The 2020 Sitecore Hackathon is a free online community driven event organized by Akshay Sura and supported by Sitecore. (Shout out to Pieter,  Mark and Tamas).

Teams that have signed up by 6 pm EST February 14, 2020 will have the opportunity to participate in the contest. Eligible teams will have 24 hours — starting Friday February 28th 2020 at 8PM EST and ending Saturday February 29th 2020 at 8PM EST – to build and submit a Sitecore module best implementing the idea for the Hackathon, as determined by our panel of judges. The idea(s) will be announced an hour before the Hackathon starts on February 28th.

We had to choose a date so that we can make sure the announcements can be made at the SUGCON EU 2020 on in Budapest.

• 82 Teams participating
• Entries from over 23 countries
• Pictures from the 2020 Hackathon
• Video playlist of submissions
• Winning Teams

Ideas for the hackathon:
– Sitecore Meetup Website – In recent events the Meetup.com site began charging for the registering and hosting of meetings as well as other features previously free. Many of the Sitecore User Groups rely on Meetup
– Sitecore Marketplace Website – The Marketplace was once a destination for popular modules to be showcased to the community. Consider the ways in which modules can be shared and installed.
– Sitecore Hackathon Website – This idea is sooo meta! Several years have passed with the current version and it’s in need of a refresh.

All teams are required to submit the following as part of their entry submission on or before the end of the Hackathon on Saturday February 29th 2020 at 8PM EST. The modules should be based on Sitecore 9.3 and if you are using commerce it should be Sitecore Experience Commerce 9.3.
