HackDays across Canada!
Big news! We wrapped up the most recent HackTO in Toronto in September with a promise to come back with plans for our next Hack event. We’ve got something far more exciting than just another Hack event in Toronto: We are taking HackTO nation-wide and will be holding hacking events in Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary and many more cities across Canada. So please expect us, welcome us and come out to code!
We’re calling this traveling circus of mad-hackery HackDays — keep an eye out for us!
We’re still putting the full schedule together, but our first trans-Canada HackDay event will be “HackMTL” — in Montreal, on Saturday November 27th, 2010. We are actively looking for local Montreal companies to supply our eager hackers with APIs they can use. So what does it mean for HackMTL? The same successful formula as HackTO:
- Great APIs to work with
- Awesome developers to meet and team with
- We will provide an awesome space to work in, breakfast, lunch, snacks and API support and
- Fantastic prizes for the best applications and GLORY!
If you’re in Montreal, and spending a Saturday building new applications on top of some of the coolest public APIs around sounds like fun, come join us! Come with some friends and hack as a team, or just come on your own and make new friends while you hack. The last HackTO was a blast: peek at some of the applications built.
HackDays are run by volunteers — without the extraordinary support of our community and sponsors, well… there would be no HackDays! So without further ado let us introduce our latest sponsor: Yellow Pages.
Yellow Pages Group support is making it possible to hold HackDays events across Canada starting with Montreal. YPG recently opened its own API with the launch of YellowAPI to allow developers to tap into the more than 1.5 million business listings across Canada. We are very excited to grow our developer community and to meet you all. Stay tuned for HackMTL registration details!
