The TFS#7 Hackfest will take place in Castelldefels 19-22 May 2025. The event will be dedicated to the integration of a Network Slice Controller (NSC) with TeraFlowSDN.

Overview

The TFS#7 Hackfest will be hosted by CTTC in their premises in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain, on 19-22 May 2025, 9 am to 5 pm. This hackfest will be co-located with:

Venue

 CTTC - Building B4 - Auditorium
 Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia (PMT)
 Av. Carl Friedrich Gauss 7

 Barcelona, Spain

Scope

The TFS#7 Hackfest is a hands-on event designed to foster collaboration among new and experienced TFS developers and users who will be working together on the integration of a Network Slice Controller (NSC) with TeraFlowSDN. The NSC is a new component in the TFS framework implementing IETF Network Slice life cycle management.

During the week, Wednesday will be dedicated to the TFS#7 Ecosystem Day, where research projects, TFS users and community members will be exchanging on TFS use cases, plans, requirements and priorities for future releases.

The TFS#7 Hackfest and Ecosystem Day will be collocated with the TFS#7 Plenary meeting as well as the SDG OSL#6 and F5G#22 Plenary meetings, making it an excellent opportunity for cross-community collaboration and networking.
