CNCF Lebanon: Open Source Contributor Challenge – Awards Ceremony

CNCF Lebanon: Open Source Contributor Challenge – Awards Ceremony

This event is the prize award ceremony for the Open Source Contributor Challenge, hosted by CNCF Lebanon in collaboration with GDG Coast Lebanon. The challenge itself runs throughout November, and participants contribute on their own time. On this date we come together to celebrate their work, announce the winners and hand out the prizes.

About the Challenge

The Open Source Contributor Challenge is an initiative to energize the local tech ecosystem and encourage our community to make meaningful, lasting contributions to the open-source projects that power modern technology. Participants pick issues, submit pull requests and work with maintainers across participating projects. Every merged contribution, whether a bug fix, a new feature or a documentation improvement, earns points.

The challenge has two tracks:

• Students: for university students building a portfolio and learning how open-source collaboration works, alongside supportive mentors.
• Professionals: for working developers and engineers taking on complex issues in major repositories.

What Happens at the Ceremony

• Winners announced: the top contributors in the Student and Professional tracks are revealed.
• Prizes and recognition: winners receive their rewards, and recognition.
• Community celebration: meet fellow contributors, mentors and organizers from CNCF Lebanon and GDG Coast Lebanon.

Who Should Attend

All challenge participants, plus anyone in the community who wants to celebrate open source and meet the people contributing to it. You don't need to have taken part in the challenge to attend.
