Let's hack something !

Mini hackathlon!

Format

• 18:30 ~ 19:00: idea pitch
• 19:00 ~ 22:30: hacking session
• 22:30 ~ 01:00: reivew, chat, beer, pizza !

During the pitch, we'll pick which projects we'll on work (so, you can add multiple entries)

(Of course, you're welcome to just sit and enjoy our fine company while you're working on something of your own)

• hackotper (todo: alternate devboard evaluation, overall architecture, beablebone pwm & alternative distros) / hackopter team! / embedded linux + elecronics
• Casio MT70 retrofit (todo: see how exactly the amp board works, cleanup keys, arduino interface them to pc) / skmp / electronics + arduino
• numbers (http://numbers.ertops.com, todo: error handling, improve TTS, http://www.colourlovers.com/, ?) / skmp / js + html5 media + apis
• network traffic visualization/load w/ mini projector / etc?+skmp / gource & bash

• Opensource clones of typingweb and typeracer / js + html + ?
• Plausible dialog generation (wikipedia api or other sources, basic NLP/NLG, TTS to make it creepy)
• HTML5 media clone of http://longplayer.org/
• Social media integration for hsgr (we have twitter, we need fb & g+. What about linked in ?)
• Open talk: How can we organize hsgr's hardware tools better ? (the back room is a mess) / skmp
• ERT Ops Android app, rtmp streaming / Android + Java / skmp
