πŸš€ FOSDEM Hackathon: EPSO KCUF – Hack the Bureaucracy!

πŸ’₯ Your Mission (If You Choose to Accept It)

You are a tragic, pencil-pushing hopeful who dreams of working for the European Union (EU)β€”not because you love democracy, but because you want to pass life-changing laws (like the DSA, so you can finally use Google Maps on an iPhone).

And, let's be honest… you wouldn't mind an €8K/month salary for warming a seat in an EU office.

But firstβ€”you must survive the EVIL EPSO KCUF entrance exam system.

Unfortunately, EPSO is run by lizard people 🦎 who believe only the rich deserve to be bureaucrats. Their pay-to-win system lets the privileged drop €400 on a single mock exam, while scholarship students in Greece (average salary: €16K/year) get left behind. And let's not forget the soul-crushing 8–14 month wait for test results.

πŸ“’ Your mission: Build hacks, tools, and sabotage plans to expose, fix, or replace EPSO with something better.

πŸ› οΈ BTW, What is KCUF?

KCUF stands for Kitchen Cool Useful Finishβ€”a pnpm package that reverses the string "kcuf" whenever it finds it. (Totally not related to anything else, I swearβ€”pun fully intended.) πŸ˜‡
