The OSL#1 Hackfest took place at ETSI Sophia Antipolis on November 12nd, 2024, during the ETSI SNS4SNS event.

Overview

This very first OpenSlice Hackfest is a great opportunity for participants to get a first hands-on experience with OpenSlice. Starting with a guided step-by-step walkthrough, participants will get familiar with network service design and understand the benefits of service orchestration and operation through comprehensive examples that streamline zero-touch network management. We will design and deliver flexible NaaS solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of the industry and modern research to create sophisticated orchestration processes that ensure seamless integration and management of network services.
