Hack along with SilverStripe 3
You’ve asked for it and now you’ve got it. With SilverStripe 3.0 being available to download tomorrow, we celebrate this milestone with a worldwide 30 hour hackathon.
The theme: Create great things with SilverStripe 3.
You can create whatever you’ve ever wanted, within a 30 hour time frame. The choice is yours, whether it be an application, a website or a module. You can team up with someone else, or do it all by yourself.
At the end, our judge Sam will make a decision on the Top 5 projects and the people who created them will receive spot prizes.
Up for grabs are a few vouchers from thinkgeek.com:
Top 1-3: A voucher for US$100
Top 4-5: A voucher for US$50
The winner will be announced on Monday NZ time.
When to hack?
- Start: Friday 29 June 12pm NZ time
- End: Saturday 30 June 4pm NZ time
The SilverStripe Wellington HQ will kick things off at noon on Friday (NZ time) and you guys can join us whenever and for as long as you want. Have your webcam handy for a virtual and interactive event.
