Re: [Hackathon: Venue]

of open benches with enough power supply (we need to bring our own
wifi though), there's air-conditioning, a food court, plenty of
vending machines and generally a large enough space. I'm not sure if
we *need* to book it but it doesn't harm to ask around.
David can you find out? Even or if we can book some large rooms in the
School of Information Systems, but really I thought the open spaces in
the SMU underground is a great place.
NUS is a bit far for most people I think, need to take MRT and then a
bus, whereas SMU is right smack in the middle of town, walking
distance from City Hall MRT station.

Yes, I'm currently working as Research Staff inside the School of
Information Systems, SMU, but I'm also not clear about how to apply to
use it, I need to ask some admin staff, definitely,
Here facilities are really good,

Could you tell that faculty contact privately to me that I can also
contact him/her? Thanks,
Usually in a university, even if in computer/software related schools,
there're always some open source advocate/enthusiasm like me, and
others don't care about open source or propriertory, but if we can
call for more open source technologies advocates, maybe we can apply a
function room for free usage,

the potential to tease our closet/alpha geeks out into the open, and
make for a better hiring environment for the startups that will be
getting funded.
I know the folks at SMU IIE very well (they were a great help with our
Neoteny Startup Camp 1 event) and they can probably get us free space
(again). Let me know the number/size of rooms needed and I'll talk to
them.

We can always do a first-run to smoothen out the kinks, and keep it
casual. I'm talking to a scrum master skilled in the arts who may be
visiting Singapore in Apr/May, and can share best practices and spread
some luv on the 2nd run.

Entrepreneurship to flesh out the details of Hackathon and get SMU's
buy-in. Would anyone like to come along? I didn't start the idea, but
think the Hackathon would be a great 'event' to have in the ecosystem,
and wouldn't want people to think that I'm 'hijacking' it ;-).

I'll inform Desai at least 1 to 2 mths in advance.
He hinted that the best time would be towards end Apr to early May,
after the students' exams. Their classrooms get fully booked up
before that by their ever-so-hardworking students mugging for exams.

Hackerspace earlier, say mid-April, to tweak and refine the process,
and run a 2nd iteration in end May at SMU. Ian McFarland, CTO of
Pivotal Labs will be in town then (May 26th - Apr 1st), and has agreed
to take part and float between scrum teams to give advice and share.

Jason Ong
It's meant for us. Sent out a personal mailing regarding the event. Seems like your email on my contact list's outdated. :)
