RAISE Summit AI - Mentoring and Judging the Hackathon in Paris

There's a particular kind of energy in a room full of people who have a weekend, a pile of GPUs, and something to prove. 

That was Paris this month, and I got to spend it as a mentor and judge at the RAISE Summit AI Hackathon.

Let me back up a bit, because this was my first hackathon wearing a SUSE hat, and it turned into exactly the kind of hands-on event I signed up for when I joined as Technical Advocacy Lead.

Let's look at how the attendees kicked this weekend off.
