The annual VMworld Hackathon in Vegas is right around the corner on August 27th…
The BlockChain theme will be judged by Mike DiPetrillo (@mikedipetrillo), the Senior Director of Blockchain Technologies at VMware. Mike has been at the forefront of many industry changing initiatives such as the launch of both x86 virtualization with ESX and cloud technologies. This theme is geared towards using the 4 main pillars of blockchain technologies to create something that the tech industry has never seen!
Boskey Savla (@boskey), VMware’s Product Marketing Manager, will be judging the Pivotal Container Service (PKS) theme this year. She is currently working on Cloud Native Applications and has many years of experience in Systems Engineering, Infrastructure Automation, and Dev-ops.

The open source serverless framework used in enterprise organizations known as Dispatch will also be a theme at this year’s Hackathon. Berndt Jung (@berndtj) is a Senior Manager of Engineering at VMware and will be judging alongside Mark Peek (@markpeek), a VMware Principal Engineer. The judges want to see what can be developed when integrating functions, events, API endpoints, and services with Dispatch.
