Spaz Hackathon at PHP Community Conference
Get your coding hats ready folks (well, developers anyhow), because Ed Finkler has announced that he will be hosting a Spaz Hackathon at the PHP Community Conference in Nashville, TN on April 21 from 5:30PM to 10:00PM EDT.
This hackathon is much like the last one he put together, where you pull the source code for Spaz, add in much needed changes, bug fixes, features, etc. Then you push your changes back to the central repository on Github for Spaz. This one goes a step further though, covering not only the webOS app, but the whole Spaz project (webOS app, desktop client, SpazCore, PHP APIs, and the documentation).
Similar to the last event, Ed will be handing out two Pre 2 smarthpones to coders at the PHP Community Conference. Sadly, the swag and prizes will be handed out only to those actually attending the meetup in person, but you can still participate even if you can’t be there. Some of us (myself included) will be participating in the hackathon via the Internet. Additionally, our very own Ryan St. Andrie will be in attendance at the event to interview Ed and take a few pictures and such. We expect he will write a summary of the event afterwards.
Here are the details:
Location: PHP Community Conference, Nashville, TN ($300 to attend)
Date: April 21st (next Thursday) from 5:30pm to 10:00pm
Prizes: Two Unlocked GSM Pre 2 phones to the two top contributors, among other prizes
How to participate over the Internet: IRC channel #spaz on Freenode
Full details about how to participate: Available on the Spaz website
