Event Information
EdgeX Foundry welcomes teams and individuals to compete in our Smart * ("Smart Star") IoT/edge virtual hackathon event starting in January 2022. In this event, teams will compete to create innovative, real world, smart applications using EdgeX Foundry. Participants will use their talents and creativity combined with the EdgeX framework, and the rules of the event to develop a solution in any one of the contest specified smart use case areas.
...
- This event is open to everyone.
- There is no cost to compete in the challenge.
- Participants may enter as individuals or as a team. There are no restrictions on the size of a team.
- There are no restrictions on the number of teams or individuals participating from any one organization or company.
- Judges are not allowed to compete in the challenge nor assist any team outside of the challenge review meetings.
- While an understanding of IoT/edge computing and EdgeX Foundry is very beneficial, participants do not have to have prior experience or expertise in these technologies. Participants without knowledge or experience in EdgeX are encouraged to learn about the platform and take the training offered at the start of the contest.
- This challenge is meant to highlight the benefits of using and acceleration of solution creation with EdgeX Foundry. While participating teams may incorporate additional IoT and edge tools, platforms and technology into their solution, the EdgeX community expects the EdgeX platform to be highlighted and reserves the right to disqualify any participating team solution that does not feature EdgeX.
- Participants acknowledge and agree that the solutions produced as part of this challenge will be made public and used to highlight EdgeX Foundry's capabilities and benefits. All materials submitted will be made available for public display and use.
- Participants are allowed to integrate their own or 3rd party software or hardware in their solution so long as they have the legal authority to use these elements and recognize that the use of these elements will be public knowledge.
- Winning participants/teams will be featured in EdgeX marketing and social media material. Participants acknowledge and agree to being mentioned and seen in the resulting EdgeX marketing and media material.
- Participation Participants in the contest acknowledge and agree to abide by the LF Edge code of conduct during the contest. Any participant not abiding by code of conduct will immediately disqualify themselves and their associated team from the contest.
- Teams may conduct research, training, and even do design prior to the event. All coding efforts should be accomplished during the contest period.
...
- A video demonstrating how the solution works and describes its use of EdgeX Foundry (Jakarta release*) as part of the solution. Videos should be no longer than 10 minutes long.
- A presentation slide deck or document describing:
- The smart use case(s) and how the solution helps fulfill the requirements of the use case(s)
- The solution architecture including the hardware and software that make up the solution (diagrams of the architecture are highly recommended)
- Details of EdgeX's role in the solution (which services are used, what customization and extensions were needed, what devices are connected, what local analytics are performed, what data is exported, etc.)
- What work remains to productize the solution in order to deploy and use the solution in a real world setting
* The EdgeX community encourages use of the latest release of EdgeX Foundry (the Jakarta release) as it is our most up to date and bug free release (also our first long term support release). If a team wishes to use an older version of EdgeX, they are encouraged to consult the community about their design and the rationale for using the older version.
Optionally, the team may also provide amplifying artifacts to assist others in understanding the solution or following a similar pattern to create another solution for the use case. "Artifacts" may include but is not limited to:
