WE KICK OPEN-SOURCE PROJECTS INTO HIGH-GEAR!
Submit Your Project for 2024
We’re keeping the tradition alive by solely focusing on projects that resonate with our core principles. All projects are a testament to our commitment to the world of open-source:
- Not-for-profit: Giving back to the OS communities remains our top priority
- Interoperable: Ensuring seamless interaction across different systems
- Open Source: Of course! Fostering innovation through collaboration and transparency 💪
Curious about how these align with the hosting sector?
We’re actively seeking projects that not only welcome innovation but also enhance the experience for all CloudFest attendees.
To encourage friendly competition between the projects, there will be a jury to determine a winner in different categories. And staying true to our ethos, the corresponding awards will be directed to support a charity project.

We invite you to reflect on

Our focus goes beyond initiating projects – we aim for concrete results, milestones, and a well-charted path.
And guess what? You won’t be sailing this ship alone. We’ve roped in two seasoned mentors to guide your project vision. Their combined experience and expertise will be invaluable in making your project a standout success.
