Subject: [backstage] Hack Day 2007! Get your diaries / ical /
outlook / ipod / phone / wall chart out
As many of you may have already heard through the geek grape
vine (GGV 2.0) ;-) The BBC and Yahoo! are planning to get together to
hold 48 hours of hacking madness this summer.
Over the weekend of June 16th and 17th we plan to see over 400
developers and designers from all over Europe heading to Alexandra
Palace in London to hack the hell out of our APIs and various feeds and
systems. Plenty of help will be on hand if you're new to the scene, or
if you just want to push the envelope with your ideas and prototypes.
We plan to finish the event with a huge concert (band is top
secret - more details via GGV I'm sure) and party open to over 1000
people we hope.
The formal announcement and sign up will go live soon - so block
the dates out of your diary and get those laptops charging.
