<div>To quickly comment on this…I completely agree. I had the opportunity to walk around the room with some of the judges and talk to the teams, and they proactively gave us feedback about SDKs that didn’t work (namely the Apple Swift language). If
we asked them for more specific feedback, I’m sure we could have gathered a more data. Most of the competitors in Guadalajara were very new to OpenStack, and I still think the primary goal of the hackathons should be education, but it would be great if we
had a community member assigned to gather and share some of that feedback. Perhaps a place for the app ecosystem team to get involved?</div>
