Born out of a desire to “make something happen” @moxypark came up with the idea of #hackitude. 48 hours, willing volunteers and an idea….changing the world, one line of code at a time. A site was put up where people could come up with ideas of the kind of thing that they would like to see us make during the weekend. Liking the idea and not one to shy away from another weekend at home, I got in touch with Mark and offered Aquila Towers as a possible venue. 13 crazy folk signed up for the weekend. @siwhitehouse and the team at Digital Birmingham offered to sponsor the food and drink for the weekend to help grease the wheels of code. Starting the #hackitude weekend at 8pm on friday night were:
@grunt121, @moxypark, @pigsonthewing, @siwhitehouse, @markjames, @digikev, @hellocatfood, @rasga & @chrisivens.
After going through the list of ideas on the website it seemed that many were leaning towards a hyperlocal feel so the team felt it was that direction we should be heading in.
@chimerax and @alexhughes joined us after the #gentlemenoftwitter tweetup and ended up popping themselves down on the “Joey ‘n Chandler” chairs for a fair few hours.
@moxypark – ideas formed, action happens…
@grunt121 and @rasga on data modelling
@hellocatfood – app development
@DigiKev on UI Development
