Cupcake Hackathon

Videos

Major portions of this event were streamed live online, and some parts are archived on the SkullSpace USTREAM Channel.

Saturday, January 15th, 2011, high noon

SkullSpace is hosting a hackathon on January 15th, 2011 at high noon. We will be participating in the Global Hackerspace Cupcake Challenge. This is an event in which hackerspaces all over the world are baking cupcakes and trying to find the best way to package and ship them at least 1600km away, to another hackerspace. We have arranged to send ours out to BuildBrighton, a space located in Brighton, England (6500km away!).

Other things afoot

In addition to the cupcake challenge, we will be brainstorming and subsequently implementing ideas for a website/service dubbed breachdb. What is it exactly? You'll have to show up to the event to find out!

Getting there

Since we don't have an official space yet, this event is being hosted privately by Mak. His words: "Since this is a private home, and I'm just generally no fun, there's no smoking, booze, etc." We ask that anyone planning on attending RSVP either to the Mailing List or Mak himself. His address is 126 Millwood Meadow and if you get lost, feel free to call him at 204-226-7565 for directions. He happens to live at the edge of the world, so we are organizing some carpooling. If anyone is interested in either driving people or getting a ride from people, please e-mail Ron and we'll try to set something up.

Donations

We will be accepting donations to SkullSpace at this event. We would like to stress that this is completely optional and just showing up and being involved is more than enough! That being said, the cost of the postage, cupcake ingredients, etc are all being paid out of our pockets right now and even if everyone just throws in $10 or something it will help. Think of it as helping to start our physical space fund! Also our CFO will be on hand with a copy of the books if anyone wants to see what responsible spending looks like.

Lunch

It is quite likely pizza will be ordered, so anyone wanting in on that should bring a couple bucks to toss in the pizza fund. Also Mak has a new waffle maker he's dying to try out so we will likely be doing waffles at some point. If anyone wants to bring any other snacks, feel free.
