Welcome to the OpenClaw Hackathon!
Less talking. More building.
No slides. No judging. Just build and demo.
If you have an idea, you can build it.
This is a hands on hack session for OpenClaw users and OpenClaw curious builders. Whether you already run a full setup or want to install your first instance, this is a space to experiment, ship something small, and show what you built.
