Congratulations to all contributors and organizers of #HackdaysUri last weekend. Looking forward to hear more about your impact! In the meantime, I see your ideas cooking on #Dribdat

Pitch presentations on now at #Hack4SocialGood 2026, 10 teams supporting social workers, public services and charities.

Thanks to Otto Wirz Stiftung for sponsoring this year's prize! 🏆

Apertus

Fully Open Foundation Model for Sovereign AI. Developed by the Swiss AI Initiative as a collaborative effort between EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS. Open weights, open data, open science.

The Backboard in #Dribdat is finally available in a Vue 3 edition. It's taken me a while to get around to upgrade, as it needed a rewrite in several parts.

Just (slightly) updated the homepage/docs for #Dribdat at https://dribdat.cc

Please use our discussion forum or raise an issue . If you would like to improve the documentation, share feedback here , or contribute via Pull Request on GitHub. You can also use our Codeberg mirrors to do this.

Of course I also find it quite suboptimal that all the work happens on 🇺🇸 GitHub rather than a sovereign 🗽platform like #Dribdat - for now you can find the challenges at https://github.com/swiss/e-collecting-hackathon (but stay tuned as I have already mirrored them locally and will set up some 🐝hexagons in a bit)
