This is a spur-of-the-moment thing: an open invite for our Daisy demo hackathon.
We have three trade shows and demo sessions coming up in the next few weeks, thus we need to brush up some of our existing demoware with some casual and contemporary Web2.0 goodness. So on Thursday and Friday 10-11 April next week, we're having a Daisy demo hackathon. Think of a refresher of our photobooth demo, with GoogleMaps integration, think of OpenID, think of a rough intranet knowledge management tool, think of some Flickr API hacking. Nothing too serious, all perfectly feasible within a couple of good coding hours, but stuff good enough to show how easy it is to integrate Daisy with outerworldy services.
If you have some spare time, and would like to hang out with us and perhaps learn also a bit about Daisy's innards and extension hooks - stuff we habitually use during every Daisy project but which perhaps lacks from a bit of underexposure, feel free to join us! Even though the setting is very informal, I'm sure it will be educational for everybody.
Two conditions: we can host only two, maximum three extra hackers, and are required to bring your own computer, and skill set, obviously. Those skills could be anything however: it would be great if fpr example a skilled XHTML/CSS slice-and-dicer would be able to attend for instance, and learn some more about Daisy publisher requests, faceted browsers and link hierarchies in return for a n33t design.
In return, there'll be beer and pizza, and the winner for the coolest hack gets a big box of Geomag magnets for keepers. And eternal fame, of course.
Mail us if you want to be there: 10-11 April, in Zwijnaarde in our offices!
