[edit] DevHouseBerlin – October 3rd & 4th, 2009

[edit] Rules

Rules

[edit] What?

DevHouseBerlin is a fun-packed weekend of hacking and sharing knowledge. We open the Box119 office for a weekend and invite hackers of all sorts to join us working on projects, sharing code and ideas and just hanging out among fellow geeks.

DevHouseBerlin is highly influenced by the SuperHappyDevHouse:

SuperHappyDevHouse is a non-exclusive event intended for creative and curious people interested in technology. We're about knowledge sharing, technology exploration, and ad-hoc collaboration. Come to have fun, build things, learn things, and meet new people. It's called hacker culture, and we're here to encourage it.

We have a number of office-spaces with varying numbers of seats and a shared area. The offices can be used for hackig on projects and the shared-space is open for general chatting and potentially presenting stuff on various technical topics. Presentations can range from 10 minute introductions to new ideas to 90+ minute workshops on some cool technical stuff. Regular discussions can go on non-stop.

[edit] Proposed topics

• Anything CouchDB @janl
• We have an actual traffic light that we want to connect to our build process. Hardware hackers welcomed by @apfelfabrik
• Xen Hypervisor Installation and setup (@nedos and @otype)
