I guess I should chime in with a mention of SuperHappyDevHouse, the original open developer hack day that happens every six weeks.

one of the hack challenges will be to come up with a new party guest list system for techcrunch

I’m a bit confused though. Here, it seems like the event is open to anyone who cares to join, evidenced by this quote:

“If you are a developer, and have an idea for a cool one-day hack project, this will definitely be a fun event for you.”

But on the Hack Day site itself, they make the event out to be more exclusive…

“Now we’re opening up Yahoo! itself to a select group of hackers and special guests for a weekend festival of hacking, camping (yes, the tents-in-the-outdoors kind–we have really, really nice grass!), music, and good times.”

I’m not going either way, so just color me curious

[...] I just found out via Techcrunch that Yahoo is holding a “hack day” on Friday, September 29, 2006 and that it is open to all developers, not just those at Yahoo. Here’s what Mike says: “Yahoo will open up its Sunnyvale headquarters to all developers for a 24 hour Hack Day, followed by a really cool party on Saturday night. If you are a developer, and have an idea for a cool one-day hack project, this will definitely be a fun event for you. We are working with Yahoo on this event, and my official duties include ‘presiding over the festivities’.” Do you realize what a brilliant strategy this is? This is Yahoo’s answer to Google’s Summer of Code program. This is what breeds love and gets the attention of the best developers. Good job Yahoo! [...]

Before anyone says anything, I’m fully aware that you can perform the same search on http://www.google.com. I’m just partial to Google.LA.

By: Observer

Observer — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 00:14:06 +0000

I stand corrected. It appears you can type in “site:.la” or “keyword site:.la” directly in the search box on http://www.yahoo.com as you can in Goolgle.LA and get results only for Dot-LA websites. Cool!!!

Speaking of Yahoo, does anyone know if you can perform an advanced search like the one I’m about to describe? For instance, on Google.LA, e.g. http://www.google.la/, I can click on the “Advance Search” button, and then on the Domain box, enter “.la” to search only for Dot-LA websites. Of course, I can also enter keywords during the same search to narrow the scope of my search. Alternativey, I can simplify this type of search by typing in “site:.la” for all Dot-LA websites, or “keyword site:.la”, e.g. “southland site:.la” for all Dot-LA websites that contain that keyword. Perhaps one of the hackers could suggest this type of functionality on Yahoo’s search engine.

So does this make you the Head of Hack Michael?

I’d have to agree with the above commenter saying to have this type of event only at the headquarters is a mistake.

So what exactly is it, do not have much time to digg in.

Like you go and write a hack fo differrent things on the web and then som prizes? why whole day 24 hours? any example on what sort of things people demo?

That sounds like so much fun. I’m tempted to fly out to CA to do it. Can we see one in Atlanta or on the east cost?
