Hey <!channel> 👋 The time has come, the Airbyte Connectors Hackathon begins today! 🎉 The theme this time is all about migrating existing Python connectors to our low-code/no-code CDK. Claim your issue in our GitHub Projects. We’re also stoked to announce we’re giving away over $11,000 in cash prizes! For each approved submission, you’ll earn swag credits that can be used to snatch some awesome items from our swag store! All the necessary details and resources are ready and waiting for you here. Got a question or find yourself needing a helping hand? Don’t hesitate to ping us in #C05DVB06458 We’re thrilled to see our community collaborate, learn, and create something amazing together.

@Chris Sean, apart from the connectors listed in HackathonIssues, does building an entirely new connector count towards this hackathon? And how does one go about that?

Hello @Victor Iwuoha, a new connector will not count towards the hackathon but you can receive swag credits for your new connector as long as it’s built with the low-code/no-code CDK.

Waiting for approval of my participation 😄

The first contribution has already been submitted! Congrats @Balasubramanian T K

Wooooooo!!

is it possible to share other no-code connectors that are not listed among the issues? If so, how do we submit it?

@Manuel Pozo Unfortunately not. They need to be migrated connectors. But if you did create a connector (using the low-code/no-code cdk) during the hackathon, you can receive swag credits.

Hi @Chris Sean, I saw your comment so I just opened a PR (https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/29087) I worked on after seeing it. I would gladly accept the swag 😛

@Chris Sean, will bug reports be rewarded with swags? 🙂 Also which info should I repost to Linkedin or Twitter for 5 swags (and should I repost to both of them or to only one?)

@Mikhail Masyagin please publish on both socials for the written/video tutorial you work on. Also be sure to tag Airbyte 🙂. Yes we are accepting bugs as well! You can submit it here.

@Chris Sean thank you for response) I'm going to add text tutorial, but I was asking about 5-stars share) Is it okay to share via LinkedIn only, if I don't have Twitter :)

That works! Yup you’ll receive 5 swag credits 🙂 .

Is it possible to review old pending PRs, so people will have enough time to improve them before the deadline?🙂

@Mikhail Masyagin our team has a backlog of reviews and we’re trying the best we can here to review the pull requests. Any PR submitted during the month will be accepted as a valid contribution for the hackathon.
