OCF#1 Hackfest

The inaugural OCF#1 Hackfest took place at ETSI Sophia Antipolis on 12 November 2024, during the ETSI SNS4SNS event.

Overview

This first OpenCAPIF Hackfest will be an interactive beginner friendly tutorial dedicated to exploring the fundamental concepts and standards needed to publish, discover, and consume APIs using the 3GPP Common API Framework. This Hackfest provides participants with the opportunity to master OpenCAPIF operations, enhancing their Smart Networks and Services projects with the use of a developer oriented, 3GPP API management system. Participants will experiment with registering API Invokers and API Providers, as well as publishing and consuming APIs using OpenCAPIF. Additionally, attendees will learn how to engage with the community to report issues, contribute code and request new features.

Participation in ETSI SNS4SNS Conference and Hackfests is free and open to all upon registration. Hurry up, seats are limited!!
