Nitobi Hack Day | September 17th, 2007
Now that things are starting to settle down at the new office and I am back from my travels in Dallas and Portland we can finally settle into some hack day fun.
It is really just an idea right now but please submit any ideas as comments. It will be open to pretty much anyone that wants to come and we will likely have it on an upcoming saturday. Nitobi will supply the hacking essentials like caffeine and pizza (maybe even some beer 
. The one stipulation is of course that everyone, either in a small group or alone, builds something cool and presents it to the rest of us (true to the spirit of the hack day). This something cool could be in the RIA space (Ajax, Flash, AIR, JavaFX, etc) but it could also be hardware or otherwise.
I am throwing out there Oct 13 as a tenative date so speak now if you have already got that day booked.
UPDATED: Oct 13 is just stupid cause thats thanksgiving weekend … Oct 20 is the new date.
UPDATED AGAIN: Please signup on Upcoming since space will be limited – and Andre will likely be doing some judging and giving away some sort of prize(s)

Damn, I’ll be in Prague. Actually I’m pretty happy I’ll be in Prague, but it sucks I’ll miss the first hack day. Let’s see if we can’t get some inter-continental hacking going.

Hey there, not sure if it matters, but on my calendar Thanksgiving is on Oct 8th. Sounds like a great idea either way, and hopefully I can make it out!
