According to the participants from the two locations, the Hackathon was a success both in terms of attendance and of valuable feedback obtained to improve and shape the whole concept of CloudOpting.
A relevant representation of Services Providers, Services Subscribers as well as Cloud Providers were present at all the events. During the Technical Hackathon, interesting discussions about technical topics like scalability and docker were held.
After the first Technical Day of the CloudOpting Hackathon, the Networking Day was carried out. This second part was focused on presenting the different Business Models CloudOpting is considering and on an open discussion, which was the backbone of the event.
This open debate tackled the needs and requirements that the Public Administrations have concerning the procurement of ICT services and the role of CloudOpting as a feasible solution in the provision of these services, with continuous exchanges of views on the existing benefits and barriers, as well as the role of CloudOpting in the European public service arena.
All of the attendees, both public and private, were very enthusiastic and participative, providing positive feedback and inputs about the product, its benefits, and about the possible business models that could support CloudOpting.
