Can we hack the past, act in the present, and build greener tech for the future? At the Green Tech Hackathon, hosted by the RIPE community a few weeks ago, 42 creative minds came together for two intense days, completing 10 inspiring projects focused on ecological sustainability and innovation in tech. «For me personally, the Green Tech Hackathon was a culmination of my work on four overlapping aspects over the last 11 years: my personal interest in ecological topics (since 2013), organising hackathons (since 2014) as as part of my Community Building work, increasing diversity (since 2016), and focusing on RIPE NCC’s efforts towards being an authority in sustainable technologies within Internet Governance organisations (since 2019),» writes Vesna Manojlovic, Community Builder at the RIPE NCC.
