If you are attending CloudFest later this month in Germany, you may also be part of the CloudFest Hackathon. You can learn more about what the hackathon is in episode, but today you are going to hear from some of the leads of the projects, letting you know what they are going to be doing and what you can expect.

These include the Enable Mastodon Apps Project, which aims to make WordPress more social and interactive, and the Inclusive Language Checker for open source contributors, which seeks to make content creation more inclusive and accessible. Other projects include integrating Marie DB catalogs with PHP platforms, improving user interfaces of WordPress using J Schema, and creating a centralized resource for frameworks and accessibility.
