Come this Saturday for the Hackathon, where a few dozen technical and interesting people share ideas, work on projects, and generally have a good time, in what have been called the most interesting places in Winnipeg (Skullspace and Assentworks).
When and Where
Saturday March 17, 2012 on the third floor of 127 Adelaide (across RRC in the exchange district). It's supposed to be noon to 8PM; most people arrive at 11AM-1PM and you'll often find some hanging around/chatting/working on projects until 2AM...
What's happening
In the classroom, interesting talks from wise people: (subjects are tentative)
- Michael Legary - turning a technical idea into a business
- Les Bester - recent history of telecom: BBSes and ISPs of Manitoba
- Jim Young/UofM - human-robot interaction and generating ideas
- (confirming?) next generation of amateur radio - the D*Star system
Talks are usually 1PM-4PM, there's no certain times or lengths but we can work around presenters' schedules if need be.
As well, many members will be working on their projects in the workshop/lounge
- If you have something in the works, even alpha-stage, bring it!
Sustenance
The custom is - donate what amount you want to Skullspace and you can eat what you want.
We'll likely use the Skullspace promotion budget to get pizza/Indian food/etc.; as usual, bring food to share if you want, but please mark if it's vegan/gluten-free/etc.
