Description
A day-long hackfest for passionate folks wanting to work collaboratively to solve damn near impossible problems that help real people!
No, it probably won't be exactly David Berlind's concept, even though he gets credit for blogging the idea first (goddamn procrastination!). Rather it's going to be a day of intense GTD.
There will be 12 of us, mixed and mashed from a superlative cadre of geeks. It's open to apply, but we've got limited space and time, so, 12. Anyway, we start in the morning promptly at 10am (after informal coffee, etc). We do brief intros, discuss our project, what we're bringing to the table as far as knowledge, know-how and passion. We then break up into a couple groups based on what we want to get done and the utility of our offerings. ...Spend the next couple hours drawing, writing, designing, architecting… getting to something with teeth but not code. Break for lunch and cross-polination.
Here's where we could get tricky (it is a mashup camp after all). Maybe after lunch we play musical chairs with the projects. Y'know, mashup the teams? This means that the folks early in the day really need to be clear about what they want since it'll be someone else's fingers actually punching the keys and juicing the code.
