They are not fantastic due to my poor photography skills but they are definitely the tip of the iceberg of the fun we had!

What do we do at Hackfests you ask? Well it’s all right there isn’t it? We hack on stuff! And no, it’s nothing your mother would be ashamed of, either.

At linuxNUS Hackfests, you’re free to work on whichever development project you want to, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Importantly, you get to meet and interact with other hackers, and hopefully everyone gets to pass a little knowledge around. The more knowledge is shared, the more everyone benefits! Isn’t that great!

For those interested, there will also be a group of fellow hackers who will be concentrating on looking at Augmented Reality development at the Hackfest as well. If that floats your boat, you know what you have to do this weekend, no?

So, make a date with linuxNUS and your inner (or outer, even) hacker  this Saturday, 8 Aug, and let the code run wild.

Time: 1pm till late

Venue: Microsoft ,1 Marina Boulevard, #22-01 One Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018989

Note:

For those intending to attend the Hackfest, please do fill out the form at the link below.

We know it’s not usual practice to collect information like that for linuxNUS Hackfests, but this time security at the venue has explicitly requested for such information (Name, NRIC/FIN/etc) in order to grant access. Rest assured the information collected will be used for the purpose mentioned above, and for that only. Collection of email addresses is solely for the use of provisioning for guest wireless accounts at the venue and nothing else.

The HackFest started off at Geek Terminal. The turnout was hardly shabby :) We had post-its stuck to our laptop, indicating who we were and our development interests. However, the venue proved a little unconducive for any serious coding, no thanks to the changing volume of music as well the cacophony from some teenagers.

And yes it is a legit event

Thanks to the Neng Giin and Microsoft, we were able to shift our coding party to Microsoft office at 1 Marina Boulevard Lvl 22 at around 3pm. The room we were given was definitely more suitable than Geek Terminal for a HackFest.

Junk food and Coke were plenty. And we were also treated to Pizza, courtesy of Microsoft. At the end of the HackFest, the gang switched from being coders to Guitar Heroes!

Besides having fun, the session was also a great place to share knowledge. Some of the things shared were Parrot and Recess PHP Framework. More photos by Ruiwen on Flickr.

Many thanks to Neng Giin for helping us organise this event and Microsoft for being such a wonderful host.
