Hello Qt devs
New to the list, so I hope this is the right place to announce
relevant events. I have tried the "announce" list but having checked
the archives there's been no posts in there since 2009... whereas
"Interest" seems much more active. However, there's no group
description, so apologies in advance if I'm out of line posting this
here. Hoping it's "interesting"!
********************************************************
I've created this event on behalf of Nokia (UK)
http://rewiredstate.org/events/hactivate-2011
"As part of this year’s Activate Summit in London, the Guardian and
Rewired State have partnered with Nokia and BlueVia to bring you
(H)activate — a cause-led hack running at The Guardian’s headquarters
in Kings Cross on the weekend of the 18th and 19th June.
(Activate is the Guardian’s platform for people working with the
internet and its associated technologies, to change the world for the
better.)
Through events in London and New York, and across our online platform
at guardian.co.uk/activate, Activate gathers together many of the
world’s leading thinkers and doers to discuss how we build a more
connected and collaborative planet; to improve lives through
intelligent use of data and technology.
The weekend before the summit, we’re hosting the inaugural
(H)activate. The tools that are built will be fed back to influence
and inspire the makers-and-doers who’ll be at Activate.
If you’d like to come, the form below has the info we’re seeking;
numbers are limited, and we need a lovely mix of talent — some sifting
will be needed, but we will get back to you before the 1st June, to
let you know (either way).
There will be…
Food and drink (hack your own lunch!)
Prizes: including cash, gadgets, free Activate tickets
Commitment to taking winning prototypes to beyond the hack day
A chance to talk on the podium at Activate, and the mingling and kudos of that
Beer and pizza (shocker)"
We'll also be announcing some Nokia prizes on Friday for the best
Nokia hack (which you folks should easily scoop up!) and Nokia will
also be scouting at the event for apps and ideas that could qualify
for seed funding.
If this is interesting to anyone, please sign up here
http://rewiredstate.org/events/hactivate-2011 citing Nokia here: "I
heard about this event via *" so that I can filter your applications
and get as many of you through the vetting process as possible :)
Thanks for reading,
Thayer
