Calling all Hackers!

This event will mark the 3rd Open Hack in Europe and Yahoo!’s 14th Global Open Hack event.

Yahoo! will provide you with everything you need to have fun, be creative and productive, and impress your peers with what you can do with a computer and the wealth of technologies and data available on the Web.

We will be fueling your creativity with a variety of Yahoo! technologies and APIs, including YUI, YQL, Flickr, Updates, Answers, and more. We will introduce you to lots of wonderful data sets that are ripe for mashup and visualization. We will keep you fed, watered and entertained for the duration of the event. All you need to bring is your creativity, your laptop, and your toothbrush.

What is Open Hack?

Firstly, what is hacking? For newbies to hacking here is a great introduction on Hacking 101 by Chris Heilmann or check out Ricky Montalvo’s Hackumentary.

Our FREE event will begin with a series of hack-related presentations from some of the Web’s most respected developers. We’ll then dive into 24 hours of hacking using a great collection of web tools, services and APIs from the Yahoo! Developer Network, and other APIs and data from around the Web. We will end the event on the second day with the hack demos plus bragging rights until the end of eternity or the next Hack Day, whichever comes first.

If you’d like to attend the event, then please register here. Due to the limited size of the venue, we will be reviewing applications for attendance and giving preference to those we believe will best be able to contribute to the design or development of a hack at the event. You could be hacking individually or in groups but please sign-up individually.

What do you need to know?

Everything you need to know about our open technology you can find on The Yahoo Developer Network at developer.yahoo.com , which also includes links to our latest open platforms.

Once you have received confirmation of your place at the event, you will be added to the pbworks site that has been set up for the event.
