OpenAustralia Hackfest - MashupAustralia Edition Agenda/Speakers

[James Polley]

We've just published the schedule for the weekend at http://hackfest.openaustralia.org/schedule. Doors will open at 10:30am each day and run through till 8pm.

Keynote speakers:

• Alan Noble (Gov2.0 Taskforce member, and also Engineering Director for Google's Australian office) will be speaking at 11am Saturday on the topic of "Innovation through open access to Public Sector Information"
• Matthew Landauer (OpenAustralia.org) will be talking at 11am Sunday

We also have directed hacking sessions covering setting up your own OpenAustralia VM so you can start hacking (Matthew Landauer + Henare Degan); creating a web mashup to put data on a map (Pamela Fox), and making things mobile (Rob Manson).

At 5pm each day we'll have lightning talks - a chance for you to show off what you're working on.

All these talks will take place in one of our larger rooms - but we'll have a variety of smaller spaces available for free hacking sessions, BoF sessions - or even your own spontaneous presentations.

Lunch (and afternoon tea) will be provided by Google, and there are plenty of local pubs and restaurants to head to for dinner.

http://hackfest.openaustralia.org/schedule is correct - but if you clicked on the link in my original email, it took you to  http://hackfest.openaustral.org/schedule, which is not correct.

The schedule looks great! It seems like there's a bunch of time slots that we can still accommodate speakers or sessions in so if you've got a talk you'd like to present, or just a session to talk about a specific topic, let everyone know and I'm sure we can find a place for it in the schedule.

Cheers,

Henare
