Prior to the conference, we will announce a program where people can enter an American Idol-esque pool for their own "Hacks" and projects. To enter the competition a person or group needs to build a Web application that uses Open Web technologies in an interesting way. What do we mean by "Open Web technologies"? They can't use plugins for visual rendering (if they use Flash say as a backup way to do storage that would still be OK, but not preferred ;) | |||
The entry will consist of a website and a screencast of their work. The screencast is their opportunity to reach out to "voters" and use the personal touch. The goal here is to drum up interest and support of the conference and showcase the great work that people are doing constantly, not just at the show itself. | |||
A panel of judges will take the votes into consideration when they pick out winners for the final showdown which will occur at the event itself. Then, live on stage, the teams will get a chance to show off their apps and the panel will grill them on how they did things. At the end of the session the attendees will vote for the winners who will win [insert cool prize]. | |||
QUESTION: Shall we spread these out during the show (in between sessions etc) with a final voting session, or just have one session that has them all at once? | |||
* Hack Sessions | * Hack Sessions | ||
To partner the "Another 35 Days" we should have onsite hack sessions that anyone can join. Various topics can have their own sessions, and at these sessions developers will expect to see the names behind the topics. For example: | |||
* Jetpack hacking with Aza, Atul, and the Labs team | |||
* Add-ons hacking with Nick, Rey, and the add-ons team | |||
* HTML5 advanced hacking with folks like Vlad | |||
Browser hacking with Firefox engineers (and even hopefully WebKit ones) | |||
The coolest hacks will be mentioned during the show. | |||

We should reach out to groups to have shared meetups. For example, reach out to John Resig about hosting a jQuery event at the same time (even sponsor shared space). Also, see if we can co-ordinate with an ECMAScript meetup, or a W3C. This will help bring people into town and will also give the feel that this is an event where things happen. | |||
