OneHack: Our DevRel Internal Hackathon

The inaugural OneHack event was a success, bringing together employees from various Vonage offices to collaborate and innovate using the company's APIs and SDKs. The two-day hackathon provided an opportunity for developers to work on projects that integrated Nexmo or TokBox APIs and SDKs, with no set theme to encourage creativity. The event included activities beyond hacking, such as workshops, massages, and socializing, to promote wellness and team building. A diverse range of teams participated, including those from engineering, product management, and support teams. The winning teams showcased innovative projects, including an emergency responder system and a sentiment analysis tool for video conferences. The event received positive feedback, with attendees scoring the overall experience 9.2/10. The OneHack series is planned to be expanded globally in 2019, with the goal of increasing cross-border collaboration and making the event more inclusive for novice coders.
