YH4F Countdown: Time for Jury evaluation and new sponsor on board
The FSFE’s hacking competition for young Europeans successfully
concluded its six-month programming period on 30 June, with the
submission of the participants’ projects. Now, it's the jury's turn to
evaluate the work of the participants. We are also happy to announce a
new sponsor for the contest, OpenSSF.
The third programming period of Youth Hacking 4 Freedom has ended. During
the past six months, teenagers from all over Europe worked on their Free
Software projects, and eventually submitted their work for evaluation to
the jury. To give you a teaser, 2024 submissions include Free Software
research and scientific projects, projects that tackle social problems,
and some fun games. As with previous editions, it is
stunning to see the great ideas the teenagers come up with. And the best
thing is to see how they manage to stick to a project idea for six
months.
Now it is the jury’s turn to evaluate all the amazing projects and
decide on the six winners, who will join us in October for the award
ceremony in Brussels.
Why your company or organisation should sponsor YH4F
Youth Hacking 4 Freedom is possible thanks to it's financial contributors. Just recently OpenSSF joined as sponsor. With their support, the FSFE can keep organising this programming competition for young Europeans
and help to spread knowledge about Free Software, helping the participants
to develop programming and project management skills while having fun
and meeting new people from all over Europe.
As an organisation or company, you can sponsor Youth Hacking 4 Freedom
or even better, become a donor. By supporting Youth Hacking 4 Freedom,
you contribute to strengthening young people's skills, enhancing their
understanding about Free Software, and helping them to develop crucial
competencies like time management.
Watch Reinhard Wisesmann, founder of the Linuxhotel and the Vielrespekt Stiftung, an
inspiring donor, who explains why YH4F is so rewarding for him.
Winning a similar contest in his youth helped him
to found his first company.
Forty years ago, Reinhard Wiesemann won a hacking competition for young
people. He used the money from his cash prize to advance his professional
development. Youth Hacking 4 Freedom has been financially supported with
donations by Reinhard Wiesemann, Linuxhotel, and Vielrespektzentrum.
Youth Hacking 4 Freedom is more than just your average programming
competition. Young people get in contact with other like-minded
teenagers from all over Europe while also learning more about licensing,
Free Software, and programming. There are different sponsorship levels
