Super Happy Dev House March

Super Happy Dev House Aotearoa has invited SilverStripe to hold a hackfest themed around their SilverStripe open source CMS and MVC framework

Sunday 1st March 2009, from 1pm until we get sleepy. Southern Cross http://thecross.co.nz

SilverStripers will share how to work with, and contribute to the software.

You can bring your own todo list, closedsource or opensource - or turn up and find someone to collaborate with. Spend your Sunday afternoon with fellow hackers writing code, submitting patches and testing builds.

Be prepared to buy your own lunch, coffee, and wifi traffic (day passes are $10, and clever geeks will work out how to make a single day pass go a long way).

Feel free to put your name on March 2009 Projects page.

what

SuperHappyDevHouse Aotearoa is a monthly hackathon, combining serious and not-so-serious productivity with a fun and exciting party atmosphere.

The whole thing is about rapid development, ad-hoc collaboration and cross pollination. Hardcore coders, l33t hax0r, passionate designers, and other types that enjoy software and technology development are welcome. If this sounds like fun to you, then you're one of us.

So, join us! Order some a brunch and coffee, dhcp into wifi and tag your commits with SHDH. Meet fellow geeks, scheme and come up with world changing creations, while consuming beer, milkshakes, cookies.

You will need to bring your own laptop.

mini happy dev house

A mini happy is the same as a super happy, but without the bar tab. Be prepared to buy your own brunch/lunch, drinks, and probably wifi access (24 hour tokens are $10 from cafenet).
