Splunk’s Annual User Conf is coming up in just six weeks (Sept 30-Oct 3) and is seriously one of my favorite times of year.
I am especially excited .conf2013 has so much awesomeness for developers.
In addition to the Hackathon we are holding during .conf2013 and the Splunk Revolution Awards we are giving out at .conf2013 – there is also the Splunk App Dev Contest! Chief Legal Counsel suggests I refer you to the official rules (tl;dr = Build a Splunk App by end of Aug, you could win something cool.)
We’re holding a contest to see what amazing projects can be built in the Splunk community. Build something awesome with Splunk software and you can win a prize worth up to $10,000!
Best Application Category:
1st Prize $10,000
2nd Prize $5,000
3rd Prize $3,000
Best Application for Social Impact Category:
$500 donation to a nonprofit of the winner’s choice
What kinds of projects are eligible for the contest?
You can build a Splunk App using JavaScript and Django with the Splunk Application Framework (requires Splunk 5.0+) or with Advanced XML! You can integrate Splunk functionality and data into a web, mobile, desktop or server application using the Splunk REST API or Splunk SDKs for Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby and PHP! Spend some time on http://dev.splunk.com/, get your brain storming and get started!
When does the contest run?
June 10th through August 30th 2013
