Hack day 8th Sep

[Ben Biddington]

Hi fellows,

Anyone interested in hacking something together around the 8th?

It's a Saturday so we may start on the Friday.

Considering some data mining and mapping with the trademe API, but all ideas welcome.

Sounds interesting. I could be keen.

I'm interested too.  If you don't mind inviting more folks from Hackers and Founders, I can probably get us cheap / free pizza. 

Could be a thing.

That's a good idea, can you ask them?

And if either of you've done one of these before it'd be good to have your help.

Will do - I'm part of the organizer team and we have been planning to hold a regular series of hacknights/days to engage more developers and to encourage collaboration in general.

I have some personal experience with organising Hackfests, and a person I'm recruiting into the organizer team has even more. Sure we'll be happy to help :)

Do you have a venue in mind ?

How many people are likely to show up?

The biz dojo is open to the idea of hosting it, but needs some rough figures on attendees, time schedule, etc.

[Y. Thong Kuah]

Hmm, Pixel Jam 2012 is on around the same time !

We can either co-operate, join up or re-schedule

[Ben Biddington]

Interesting, who's keen?

[Ben Biddington]

Thanks for all the responses to this and the API question.

What about free software projects? Are there any you know of that we could contribute to?

(As an alternative to hacking something new)

So the date is set for a series of Hack-a-thons, starting on sept 15th.

Still trying to suss out how best to pull it off, so feel free to throw in your ideas.
