Talking Veeam Community Hackathon with Maurice Kevenaar and Jonah May | SOTTC Episode #20

In this special episode of “The Sound of Tech to Come,” hosted by Anthony Spiteri, Maurice Kevenaar and Jonah May, both Veeam Vanguards and leaders in the Veeam User Group community, join the podcast to discuss the upcoming Veeam Community Hackathon. The episode dives into the excitement surrounding the second annual Veeam Community Hackathon, highlighting what participants can expect and how the event has evolved from its inaugural year.

The conversation covers the spirit of hackathons, the lessons learned from last year’s event, and the opportunities for anyone in the community—even those without coding experience—to get involved. Maurice and Jonah also provide details on how to sign up, the timeline for the hackathon, and the benefits of participating, from learning new skills to networking within the Veeam community.

Key Takeaways

• Inclusive and Fun: The hackathon is open to everyone, regardless of coding experience, and emphasizes community building, creativity, and fun.
• Learning Opportunities: Participants can step out of their comfort zones, try their hands at coding, presenting, or problem-solving, and gain new skills in a supportive environment.
• Evolution from Last Year: This year’s hackathon has been extended to three days, with additional time for team formation and brainstorming, reflecting feedback from last year’s participants.

How to Join: Sign-ups are open until September 6th, with the hackathon kicking off on September 20th. Interested participants can visit Veeam’s hackathon site to register.
