Congrats to our three Summer interns, @Yanit Gebrewold, @Sebastian Infante Murguia and @tony! Thanks for contributing to Venice, and remember you’ll always be part of the community 😄 ! Don’t be a stranger, let us know how things go! Cheers!

Thank you @Felix GV! It was amazing working with the Venice team and such a great experience!

Thanks! @Felix GV I'm incredibly grateful for this experience and learned so much from everyone on the Venice team. Wishing the team continued success!

Thank you @Felix GV ! It was amazing to work and learn from you guys this summer. Good luck with all future projects!

(and don't forget, the bug list is on github if you get nostalgic)

If you want to setup Venice on your local machine, you can use this guide: https://venicedb.org/docs/dev_guide/how_to/workspace_setup

Don’t forget also to tell your classmates about the cool stuff going on in the venice project!

We gotta figure out a Venice college campus hackathon one of these days

Yeah that’d be fun

I think we'd probably host a Venice cluster, or, maybe roll in with some free Azure credits for broke college students

Yeah it could be all-local of course… but IDK if that’s as exciting 😄

If yall are interested in hosting a hackathon my schools hosting on in January I think, maybe you guys could add like a “Venice Prize” for the team that makes the best use of Venice, that’s something I see a lot of companies do to promote product

Interesting, I didn’t know prizes were a thing, but it totally makes sense. IDK if we have a budget for that, but it’s worth finding out.

I won a few coding competitions in college and I think the highest value prize I ever got was a copy of Windows 7. Which seems silly now, but I thought I had hit the jackpot then 😂

With inflation, you probably won’t get anyone interested nowadays by such a prize 😂

Yea, like a price like 3 months of LinkedIn premium for the winning team which is at most 4 ppl would prob get ppl going

Merch is also a common prize. I received a GCP branded backpack that I was super stoked at the time to receive.

Yeah I know I loved that when I was in university… Ideally, t-shirts for all participants, and then maybe bigger items for winners… IDK, I gotta find out if we can do that. I asked someone, we’ll see…
