OPEN HACK DAY 2009: LONDON 08-05-09


Yahoo! Open Hack Day is coming back to London on 9-10 May. Despite being hit by lightning twice the first time the event was held in London (in the notoriously accident prone Alexandra Palace), there was no holding back.

The stage is set, the sign-up site is live, the venue is chosen and we're ready to break it down and celebrate the hack, Europe style.

The plan is for two days of tech talks, hacking, entertainment, food and drink and all we need is you to come and show what you can build in 24 hours using Yahoo! APIs or anything else you find on the web. There will also be presentations from some of Yahoo!'s friends, too.

Registration There are two types of registration choices for attendees:

Tech Talks – for those who are only interested in attending the educational tech sessions on Saturday morning

Hackers – for those interested in attending the full 2-day, overnight hackathon – including the Saturday Tech Talks, all-night hacking, Sunday hack demos, judging and prizes

You could be hacking individually or in groups, but do sign-up individually.
