Everything has been said about Hackday London already, so I'll skip the detailed description bit. This is just a quick note to say that BBC and Y! rocked. We had loads of fun and learned a lot too.
The hack that we submitted didn't won any prize, so we were clearly robbed there (maybe if the timer guy hadn't shut us down during our presentation, bah...) but still a very big thumbs up to anyone on the list, to the jury, the winners, and to ourselves too. .pt rules.
Now seriously, Yahoo! has gotten the Hackday formula well tuned by now. Not even the thunderbolt episode or the problems with BT Openzone's Wifi on Saturday were enough to spoil the party. Definitively something I'll be thinking about during the next weeks to evaluate something similar, but in a Portuguese context, we'll see.
I followed the event from back home and within minutes the thunderbolt event crept up on my feedreader through technorati... Amazing, the coverage it got (if you bother to look for it).
Pretty cool hacks.. some simpler, others more complex. But a lot interesting things happened there...
Well done guys, you made us proud. hehe
I'd love to see something like this happen in Portuguese soil... And I bet there is a good deal of geeks out there that would too.
