ALT A Note from the Team This year was a little different! Instead of the usual 48 hours of non-stop rush, we went with a month-long, more mindful hackathon, giving everyone the time to learn, build, and make mistakes along the way. At the end of the day, our goal is to build meaningfully and bring more people into the open source fold. Every edition of FOSS Hack is a learning opportunity for us, too, this year, especially, was a whole lot of experimenting. We hope you had a good time? If you have thoughts on what we could do different or better, drop a line! In the meantime, keep tinkering and stay hydrated. Later! Thanks to all the participants, judges, and local hosts.
