About the Hackathon Committee

The Hackathon Committee is responsible for the planning and execution of NANOG’s Hackathon events.

In keeping with NANOG’s educational mission, a NANOG Hackathon is a venue for network professionals at all skill levels to learn about network automation, software development, and other related topics, by providing meeting space (in-person and virtual), lab resources, and mentors to allow participants to work individually or as teams on specified or self-directed projects.

Roles and Responsibilities

The Committee will have the following responsibilities in alignment with NANOG’s strategic plan:

  • Determine the hackathon event format (within constraints specified by the Board)
  • Determine a theme for each hackathon event
  • Develop suggested projects, possibly including directed prompts, for participants
  • Develop tutorial materials as appropriate
  • Manage the lab environment for participants
  • Work with NANOG staff on identifying sponsorship opportunities and procuring appropriate sponsors
