Record-breaking Registration for Open Hack Event
Developers from 15 states across India have flooded the Yahoo! Developer Network with registration requests for Open Hack, Bangalore, India — the highest number of registrations ever for any Open Hack event globally.
As a testament to the India’s impressive technology growth, as well, there were more registrations received in the first 24 hours after the announcement, than the total registrations for the first Open Hack India event!
This 13th Yahoo! Open Hack event spans July 24-25 at the Taj Residency in Bangalore. 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 development of a hack at the event. There are two types of registration choices:
Info Geek – Those who are interested in attending the Technology Seminars and presentations on Saturday morning but not the main hack event. If you sign up here, you will be asked to leave after the tech talks end on Saturday.
Hacker Guru - Those who are pure of heart or creative souls, love hacking up new ideas, possess entrepreneurial passions, or just want to build something for world peace…or for an overnight tech-mayhem-and-hacking-bliss. It includes the Saturday tech presentations, hacking through the night, Sunday demos, and judging.
The 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 awards ceremony, which entitles winners to bragging rights until the end of eternity or the next Hack Day, whichever comes first.
As a Hacker Guru, you will get a chance to play with our newest releases, such as YQL, YUI3, YAP, Geo Technologies, and more.
Naturally, we plan to provide physical and mental sustenance throughout the two-day event. For more information, please see the Open Hack India blog on the Yahoo! Developer Network blog.
