The DNS Hackathon, part of the Uganda DNS Forum, is designed to bring together developers, students, engineers, and policy experts to prototype practical solutions to Uganda’s DNS challenges. It will run for 7 days(we might extend this period to 2 weeks)  in a hybrid format, with mentorship, workshops, and team presentations. Key focus areas include DNS security (DNSSEC), infrastructure resilience, local content delivery, policy and regulation, cybersecurity, and Universal Acceptance (UA).

The Universal Acceptance track will explore how to build UA-ready tools, audit software and websites for UA compliance, or raise awareness among developers and service providers. 

Participants will come from academia, government, industry, and the global DNS community. Please find attached the plan for the hackathon. I’d be happy to share more details if needed.

You are correct.  I accidentally posted the same link twice.  Let me try again.

Here is the report:
