OpenSocial Hackathon in London: 6th of April

Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 10:53:00 PM



Good news: some OpenSocial folks are headed to London, so anyone and everyone is welcome to come learn about OpenSocial and get your hands into some code.

On Sunday, the 6th of April, we'd like to invite all of you in London (or nearby) to come hack on OpenSocial. In addition to copious wifi, we'll walk through the state of OpenSocial and walk through the API, so you can get off and running building applications.

The rest of the agenda? Beer + Pizza + Code.

This is a great opportunity to come and get started developing applications for websites like hi5, MySpace, and orkut using OpenSocial, as well as learn about upcoming plans and projects like Caja and Shindig.

If you're intersted, please RSVP on this form.

That's great news. I've been hoping for some OpenSocial events in Europe. I won't be able to attend on April 6. Are you planning more events like this in Europe? In Germany, maybe? And what about Google IO Europe? Now that would be great. I've already booked my flight ticket for WWDC about a week later in the Moscone Center so I won't be able to make it to Google IO either which really bugs me. So a European Google IO would be amazing.

Glad to see all the excitement, and I'm looking forward to meeting you all (and writing some code).

The full logistical details are now available: http://opensocialapis.blogspot.com/2008/04/sundays-opensocial-hackathon-in-london.html

@John: this is generally a casual event, so come by for as much time as you'd like!

I would like to know if there are any hackathons planned for Canada? I live in Alberta, specifically, but am willing to travel to one on the west coast somewhere.
