The moment everyone was waiting for since Emil's early teaser, finally arrived. We've seen a positive response from our community, we've seen our documentation improved, we've seen new engagement in our community by all means, this was a success! The fact that this adds new features that we lacked in the education space is a really great thing to see!'ДЄfter the round of welcomes and reflections from Jitsi and the Commission, selected representatives from the teams had the chance to present themselves and briefly pitch their project.ДЄwards, prizes and new features for Jitsi 'It was really tough, the quality of projects that I have seen in this hackathon is really, really high!.

SaГєl IBARRA, the Jitsi Architect and chief mentor followed, sharedВ his reflections on the hackathon too: Open source software as public infrastructure should be funded and cared for as a public infrastructure itself.' 'Perhaps we should treat open source as public infrastructure, and it should be funded and treated the same way as bridges and roads. Miguel DIEZ BLANCO from the organising team and the lead of the Commission's Open Source Programme Office (OSPO) also congratulated and thanked all participants for their amazing contribution and left a reflection for the audience: It is amazing to see this unifying power behind open source which brings passionate people together to achieve and contribute with something meaningful.' the ability we have nowadays to work together no matter where we are sitting, no matter who we are in terms of background. 'Open source and this type of hackathon - it is such an exciting and amazing opportunity. Thomas GAGEIK, DirectorВ for Digital Business Solutions at DG for informatics, European Commission, added:

'This is what I really love about open source, that thing, on a dime, on a moment's notice, we can get so much potential and so much work done with no significant preparation. The award ceremony was held on the 10 of May.В Emil IVOV, JitsiвЂ™s founder opened the ceremony with an enthusiastic welcome to everyone, saying how excited he was about the outcome of the hackathon: In total, 21 projects were submitted, which was an encouragingly high number. Participants could choose to tackle some of the challenges proposedВ by Jitsi, or they could create their own ones. In the last week of April 2021, more than 150 people from 50 countries gathered in an education themed online hackathon called 'Winning over the classroom with JitsiвЂќ, sponsored by ISA2 Sharing and Re-use action (2016.31)В to develop new features for Jitsi.Дevelopers, architects, students, teachers, and Jitsi mentors from different countries and time zones worked together for one week in a collaborative online environment.
