Sport is for everyone, regardless of age, background or physical condition. Sport and physical activity contribute significantly to the health and well-being of people, but currently the level of physical activity among adults in Bulgaria is among the lowest in Europe. So, we, the OpenFest 2023 team are very happy to tell you about the joint initiatives with our partners from 5kmrun.
For the 2023 edition of the conference, we have prepared two challenges for you:
Help us improve the 5kmrun mobile app for Android and iPhone – and you could win one of three great prizes –
– 1st place – Raspberry Pi Zero 2 + bandana with the OpenFest logo
– 2nd place – a ESP32 module + bandana with OpenFest logo
– 3rd place – a bandana with the OpenFest logo
You may choose to work on any of the tasks listed at this link in the app’s github repository – https://github.com/etabakov/fivekmrun-app/issues – or be creative and work on new addditions such as functionality, documentation, infrastructure /e.g. CI/, automated tests, etc. , which you consider to be a valuable contribution to the project. If you need help to get started or have additional questions, you can join the 5kmrun Discord channel – https://discord.gg/TtygvedW and ask there. The submissions deadline is until Sunday, November 5th 13:30. We expect you to send us your work in the form of a Pull Request in the github repository, and the winners will be chosen by a jury of 3 people – one person from the program committee and the OpenFest team, and one person from the 5kmrun team respectively. We will announce the winners during the closing session of the conference on Sunday, November 5th.
The second challenge – we invite everyone to join the 5kmrun community and the OpenFest team on Saturday, November 11th, at 10:00 in the South Park in Sofia and run together with us! More details are available in the link here. If you don’t feel in proper physical condition or you are not confident to attempt the run – come join us to support us in getting to the finish line and have fun together with us in the park. It would be great if you could also wear an OpenFest t-shirt, regardless of the year, or a bracelet from the After-Party, so that we can count ourselves in the same manner as we do at OpenFest! See you on November 4th and 5th and hopefully again on November 11th in the South Park in Sofia!
