Hackathon lead Carole Olinger explains the organization process, project selection, and attendee matching across 110 participants from 300-400 applicants. Multiple project contributors share what they built in three days, including a CMS Cloud Manager, federated events via ActivityPub, WP-CLI with MCP/AI integration, an HTML-to-CMS migration tool, AI-powered accessibility tools, accessible infographics plugin, a peer-to-peer federated RAG framework, and a WordPress staging environment manager. The event emphasizes cross-CMS collaboration (WordPress, TYPO3, Joomla, Drupal) and contributing back to FOSS rather than building proprietary products. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
