Authentik Security is hosting its first-ever authentik hackathon from July 26 through July 30, a three-day event designed for participants to collaborate and build together on the company's SSO authentication project. The hackathon aims to welcome newcomers and provide an opportunity for seasoned hackers to contribute to the project. Participants can choose from existing issues or propose new ones, with opportunities for team formation and collaboration. The event promises a mix of fun and challenging hacking, including code, documentation, and website development. Seasoned hackers are invited to help make the event a success by reviewing PRs, assisting participants, and moderating questions. Prizes include swag and a $5000 prize pool, with voting open to all participants after the event.
