Pre-HackDay Checklist

  

Things to Bring: 

  • A wifi enabled laptop
  • For overnight hacking bring a pullover or sweatshirt in case you feel cold at night
  • If you are staying overnight, we will provide sleeping areas & bean bags. Not required but you may want to bring a sleeping bag if you need one to catch a nap on the Saturday night.
  • We will provide you with food throughout the event, so there will be no need to bring your own.

 

Appserver hosted on a domain

You will need access to an internet server where you can host and demo your hack from if needed. If you don't have one already look around there are many cheap providers who can get you a temporary one for a month or so. If I find some with good deals I'll list them here.

 

Hacking on Blueprint, MailApps or Fire Eagle?

Just make sure that you have a web server on the internet where you can build out your app so that the Blueprint, Mail and Fire Eagle servers can talk to your app. It's probably better to have a server that support PHP5 but will send out more details later.

Also BBAuth requires you to have access to a root domain on the internet in case of Mail Applications Hacks.

Hey Darshan.

You registered for the Info Geek talks and you should have already received a confirmation email from me. You are on our DB as an info geek, and will be granted access for the talks on Saturday morning only.

hey,
is it cool if we demo our app running on our local Apache server on our laptops. or it needs to be on the internet? I guess both an app on fireeagle can be demo'd like that.

We all have got our confirmation mails, but is there anything else we should bring for you to ascertain our identity? If so what are those extra things which we need to bring and should be we be there early for the identification procedure?
