The Theme of the Second SoftFIRE Hackathon is the development of compelling applications, services and functions for the new 5G environments through a secure NFV/SDN platform. This SoftFIRE Hackathon aims at giving the opportunity to develop on top of the SoftFIRE platform combining NFV and SDN technologies as an important step towards the implementation of software architecture for the future 5G networks. The objective of the Hackathon is to use the SoftFIRE platform either to extend its NFV and SDN functions or to create advanced and innovative applications by exploiting the available features. The participants to the Hackathon can choose one (or both) objectives in order to develop and demonstrate new functions, services, and/or applications. Please, find here some useful information for your preparation for the Hackathon. This event will be an important opportunity for developers, practitioners and interested third parties that could work on top of the SoftFIRE platform. The Hackathon will also be an opportunity for Experimenters interested in the next SoftFIRE Open Calls to get familiar with the programmability of the platform. More details about the event, rules for participation and judging criteria can be found here.
