So last year the BBC and Yahoo! ran the stunningly cool Hack Day London. It was a brilliant success, and frankly I¹ve been biting at the bit to organise another one. Last week I got the nod from Ashley Highfield that the budget had been cleared and we could run another one! It¹s very early days yet, but so far we know that it¹s going to be late June, venue to be decided and we¹re looking for other people to work with. Obviously we worked with Yahoo! last year (who¹s idea Hack Day is) - and this year we want to work with as many people as possible. I think the only major change will be that we plan to run some kind of conference on the Friday before the weekend event and that we wont be having a massive band on the Sunday night - rather we¹ll be doing something (and this is soooo cool) on the Saturday night. Oh one last thing we¹re changing the name this year to avoid any confusion henceforth it¹ll be called Mashed.More news as the planning progresses. m _______________________ Matthew Cashmore Development Producer BBC Future Media & Technology, Research and Innovation BC4A5, Broadcast Centre, Media Village, W12 7TP T: 020 8008 3959 (02 83959) M: 07711 913241 (072 83959)
