KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced the first, second, and third-place winners of CloudNativeHacks.
During KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024, CNCF, in collaboration with the United Nations, hosted its first-ever hackathon, CloudNativeHacks, to focus on advancing the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sponsored by Heroku, the aim was for individuals and teams to develop a proof of concept to help support these development goals, working together to solve pressing issues and contribute meaningfully to creating a better, more sustainable world.
CloudNativeHacks Winners
First place: Team Urban Unity - Carolina Lindqvist and Syed Ali Raza Zaidi, which addresses SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
Team Urban Unity from Switzerland and the UK developed a proof of concept for a platform that democratizes urban planning policies. They created a map where urban planners can drop a pin if they want to create a new building, but perhaps the local neighbors want to create a park and so can provide feedback about it. It is a platform for the people and run by the people.
Second place: Team Forrester - Radu-Stefan Zamfir, Alex-Andrei Cioc, George-Alexandru Tudurean, which addresses SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 15: Life on Land.
