Proposed Projects

🤔 What is a Cofest Project?

A Cofest Project is not necessarily a specific achievable goal, but rather a collaborative effort to explore a topic, share knowledge, write code, develop a tool or in general, work together on something that interests you.

A good project idea for the Cofest is preferrably a collaborative one or at the very least, one that would benefit from in-person planning, feedback and dicussion.

📝 What Kinds of Projects Can You Expect?

We encourage you to suggest your own ideas, but here are some examples of projects that have been proposed, which you can join or use as inspiration:

📢 How to Work on a Cofest Project

We will compile a list of projects based on the suggestions you provide through the Google Form. At the start of the Cofest, we will come together to share these projects, along with additional recommendations and the designated point of contact or project lead for each. During the event, you can connect with them and begin collaborating!

Don't worry, we'll make sure there's something for everyone to work on.
