Join us for Croatia’s one of the first open-source hackathons, organized by Algebra University in partnership with DENT, a project by the Linux Foundation! This unique event will take place at the Algebra Spark Event Space in Zagreb on Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 8:00 to 20:00. With a prize fund of 3,000 EUR, the hackathon is designed for students and professionals eager to tackle challenges in network configuration and management. Seize the opportunity to collaborate with top experts, explore solutions for remote management, configuration resilience, and telemetry integration.
About DENT Project
As a Linux Foundation project, DENT utilizes the Linux Kernel, Switchdev, and other Linux-based projects as the foundation for building a new, standardized network operating system without abstractions or overhead. All underlying infrastructure — including ASIC and Silicon for networking and datapath — is treated equally, simplifying existing abstractions, APIs, drivers, low-level overhead, and other open-source software. DENT brings together silicon vendors, ODMs, SIs, OEMs, and end users from all sectors to enable the transition to disaggregated networks.
About the Event
