NLnet historically contributed directly and indirectly to various third party conferences. In some cases, like the renowned SANE conferences, not only financially but also with man-power. Besides these large activities, it used to sponsor smaller events on an irregular bases. Those smaller conference contributions are collected on this page. Currently, NLnet puts the focus on R&D activities — this may change in the future, also depending on suitable budgets for this to become available.

Sprints and hackathon are meetings that bring together developers and other interested people to work on a project side by side. Especially for distributed or virtual teams that are used to work asynchronously, this temporary change of pace combined with being locked up in a room together, can be very productive. In a few days of intense, dedicated in-person interaction, sprints and hackathons may boost a project in terms of new features, resolving long standing technical debt, trying out new ideas as well as help to improve group cohesion.
