Hey Naveen, thanks for flagging this for us. We're reaching out to the Linode team to investigate futher 🙌

@qainsights Unfortunately, it looks like the credit is only available to new accounts. We've updated the announcement post to reflect this. Apologies for the confusion here. You can still make a new account with a separate email address to receive the $100 credit. Hope this helps!

No problem. I contacted the Linode support, they added the credit to my existing account :)

It would be great if Linode registration wouldn't require Billing Information since this might be kind of preventive for some people(at least for me) to register and take part to this Hackathon.

Hey @michalispapamichael, thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely see what we can do to lift this restriction for future hackathons to make it more accessible to all.

Do Linode EdgeWorkers even exist? As far as I can tell, they are an Akamai product. They aren't a part of the linode service. What is the expectation for the EdgeWorker Experts category?

What licenses count as permissive? I can see MIT and Apache-2 are listed. But they're too permissive for my liking.

Would any of the licences listed at Ethical Source be allowed?

Hey Kunal! You can have as many members as you'd like in a team, but you will have to assign one person to redeem the prize and split it among the group members.

This was a fun hackathon.

Please have a look at my submission and give feedback on if the tool idea could be helpful for your org: GittyUp

In my professional experience GitHub security posture management is a challenge but would like to know if it’s the same for others too with hundreds of repos.

I am not able to find docs related to edgeWorkers in Linode docs. Only thing I found about EdgeWorkers is in Akamai website and I was not able to find any docs except for webinar registration. Can someone reply here with the link to docs of Linode's EdgeWorkers?

Yeah, I think Akamai bought Linde, and so the EdgeWorkers service that's listed is from Akamai. @devencourt might have mistaken it.

Just speculating though.

You don't need to be a pro to participate in hackathons! These are inclined towards beginners.
