Yahoo Open Hack India : Registrations Open

OpenHack-India2010-2.jpg
Namaste! Open Hack India is back, and we’re excited to see what creative hacks the vibrant Indian developer community can come up with. This is the 13th Yahoo Open Hack event we’ve hosted globally and will be the 3rd one in Bengaluru. The event will be held on the weekend of July 24-25 at the The Taj Residency, Bengaluru.

Registration is now open.


 Due to the limited size of the venue, we will be reviewing applications for attendance and giving preference to those we believe will best be able to contribute to the development of a hack at the event. You can hack individually or in groups, but please sign-up individually.

There are two types of registration choices:
  • Info Geek Those who are interested in attending the Technology Seminars and presentations on Saturday morning but not the main hack event. If you sign up here, you will be asked to leave after the tech talks end on Saturday.
  • Hacker Gurus Those who are pure of heart or creative souls, love hacking up new ideas, possess entrepreneurial passions, or just want to build something for world peace…or for an overnight tech-mayhem-and-hacking-bliss. It includes the Saturday tech presentations, hacking through the night, Sunday demos, and judging.
Book your place now! You know you want to. We will send Open Hack Day Confirmed emails by the first week of July to all the selected registrations applications.

Outline of the Talk:
Anyone who follows Cricket in India would recognize the brand that is Cricinfo. Having been acquired by ESPN now, its one of the reliable and favourite destination for the millions of Cricket Aficionados in India and abroad. As usual, we are posing three interesting questions for Badri Seshadri to cover for the audience during this talk - apart from his Journey as an Entrepreneur:

1. Cricinfo was founded along with a Co-founder. What has been his experience having a co-founder, are there any cons to that equation and what would his advice be.
2. How does one get into an industry like Cricket - which is more or less a religion in India - and prevail in it, given that bigger players constantly threaten to enter into that market.
3. The Journey of Cricinfo and are some Entrepreneurs reluctant than others to get into business and the perspectives behind it.

The Monthly Entrepreneurs' Meet is an initiative by IITM's Rural Technology and Business Incubator, along with IITM Research park.

Mozz Rockz!!!!

Mozilla Free Cultural RoadShow - Catch the Excitement @ CEG and IIT

We love the web, and you do too. It creates huge opportunities along with new tensions.
What will the web look like in 5, 10, or 25 years? Will it still be a platform for creativity, self-expression, and open commerce? Or will it be enclosed by private interests and enveloped by surveillance and censorship?
Mozilla is traveling from city to city to celebrate the open web and remix culture. Join some illuminating talks, to speak your mind, and to meet new friends. Prepare a 5minutes of Talk which adds to your fame @ Mozilla Drumbeat!!!



Next dates

 The Roadshow events are 100% free and open to everyone.
