Annual Awards

Annual Awards of the Year announced by EdgeX China Community

2020 was a year like no other, as we witnessed the ravages of the COVID epidemic and the global economic turmoil together. However, the EdgeX Foundry China community has thrived over the past year, successfully organizing the EdgeX Challenge Shanghai, China Day event, and numerous training and meetup events both online and offline, bringing together a large number of developers, architects, and industry experts. Today, EdgeX community has developed into the largest edge computing community in China. We know that the community thrives thanks to a large number of active community members, who either enthusiastically contribute code to benefit the EdgeX ecosystem or actively participate in project promotion and evangelism. The "Evangelist of the Year" and "Code Contributor of the Year" of the EdgeX China community in 2020 have been recommended by the core team of EdgeX China and approved as follows.
