With Docker 1.12 we’ve added new API objects, like Service and Node, that will let you use the Docker API to deploy and manage apps on a group of Docker Engines called a swarm. As a participant of the Docker 1.12 Hackathon we encourage you to hack the new features included in Docker 1.12, such as: Swarm Mode, Cryptographic node identity, Service API, and Build-in routing mesh. An extra point will be rewarded to each submission that includes a bug fix or contribution to Docker 1.12!

NEW: we just created a SLACK team for the Docker Community and a dedicated channel for the Docker 1.12 hackaton. Follow this link to sign up and receive your invitation to the slack channel. 

Eligibility

  • Teams of up to 3 eligible individuals (including teams representing an organization)
  • The Docker 1.12 Hackathon is global but residents of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Brazil, Quebec, and Italy are not eligible to win prizes.

Judging Criteria

  • Fit
    Does Docker improve the project or fundamentally enable it?
  • Efficiency
    Is this implementation small in size, easy to transport, quick to start up and run?
  • Integration
    Does the project fit well into other systems, or is it sufficiently complex itself to be its own system?
  • Transparency
    Can other people easily recreate your project now that you’ve shown how? Is your code open source?
  • Presentation
    How well did you present your project in the video? Does the video convey your hack clearly and do you cover all the important points?
  • Usefulness
    Popular vote on how many would people would use your hack. So keep your audience in mind!
  • Longevity
    Can the project be improved / built upon?
  • Bonus Point!
    If your submission includes contributions and bug fixes to the Docker 1.12 Github repository your final score will be allotted one extra point.
