I have worked in the technology industry for the last 14 years and I've never seen a group come together like at Saturday's hack-a-thon at buddycloud towers. It was a great success. Thanks to everyone that made it into such a great event.
In all we were 12 people from as far away as Frankfurt and Linz in Austria and jammed on the buddycloud client from 11am Saturday until 1:30am Sunday.
The event was like an Amish barn raising where people come together for a day to build a barn and everything is in place by sunset. In just one day the hackathon gang managed to turn the buddycloud android client from nothing to a UI, connection management and a datastore for geolocation and channel posts. Benjamin's work means that there is a following UI which will now receive data from the store that Ronan Schwartz setup. Simon Schoar helped out with structuring the project. Martin is working on media posting and Bernd is working on the registration wizard. Florian setup a method for debug logs to be emailed in and Ross (even though he wasn't feeling well) helped Benjamin with UI design. Not to forget everyone who was wired in remotely via the chat room and contributing ideas and helping with debugging. I know
Good work guys! That was awesome day.
78 commits in one day is incredible.
The end of a long day
