    Just yesterday, at TenX Networks, we held ‘hackUTOS2, the return of the hack’!  We had some really good hacking and fun.  Lot’s of peanuts, green frisbees and good food.

    A very large thank you goes out to the gang at TenX Networks for making the space available and providing lunch and drinks.

    So here’s the pictures from the event, held on August 21, 2010:

    Plans for hackUTOS3 are targeted for November/December 2010.  If you know of a venue or wish to help run an implementation of hackUTOS in your area, please let us know with a comment!

    Cheers,

    Clint

  • hackUTOS 2.0: Food, what to eat?

    By admin

    Add a comment

    We’re all set to HACK at TenX Networks this Saturday for hackUTOS 2.0.  If you haven’t been before, one of the nice things we do is provide a nice lunch.  This time it’s deli sandwiches for everyone who’s been hacking.  We’ll also provide drinks and snacks throughout the day.

    On Friday, I’ll be heading out to the grocery store to pick up snacks, drinks and the like for everyone to eat while they hack.  I’ll likely pick up some normal hacking event snacks, caffeine, sugar, chips and the like, but what kind of snacks would you like at #hackUTOS – A Code Festival?

    Take a moment to comment and list a few things you’d like to EAT while you hack :)

    DON”T FORGET TO ADD YOUR PROJECT to the projects page.

    Cheers,

    Clint

    Just a quick reminder that we’ll be running another hackfest (aka hackUTOS 2.0) this coming Saturday, August 21, 2010 from 10-4!

    For those of you who came to hackUTOS 1.0, and recall how much of a blast it was, come again, it will be even better!

    The goals are simple, provide a free space for those who want to work on a project, learn a new skill, or help others with an open source project for a day.

    There should be plenty of snacks and drinks, plus we should have a good lunch for everyone!

    Here’s the details:

    Saturday, August 21, 10am-4pm*
    TenX Networks (map)
    4855 Wiley Post Way
    Salt Lake City, UT 84116

    *You’re welcome to come an hour early and stay an hour late.

    For more information, visit http://hack.utos.org, or add your project at http://hack.utos.org/projects

    See you all there!

    Cheers,

    Clint

  • #hackUTOS 1.0: A Grand Success – Now with Pics!!

    By admin

    Add a comment

    This past Saturday was the first ever #hackUTOS – A Code Festival, dubbed ‘#hackUTOS 1.0″ and boy was it a grand success!

    Over the 9 hour event, we had 30+ people attend, stop by and hack their little hearts out!!

    Several of those folks stayed the entire 9 hours, which makes this sort of community hackfest so successful.  We’ll definitely be doing a #hackUTOS 2.0 very soon, so watch here (and http://hack.utos.org) for updates and announcements.

    There was tons of junk food, soda and an awesome burrito bar from the East Bay Cafe!!

    At the end of #hackUTOS 1.0, the community chose an individual who did the most for free and open source software and he was awarded the #hackUTOS ‘Wrench of Pride’.

    Others had great #hackUTOS pride:

    The entire collection of photos is available on our flickr page.

    Please thank David Owen (fugue88), as he did an amazing job of organization.  Also, a special thanks to Dave Mitchell, Doc Hodges, Nate Conger and John Jolly for helping us cover security and networking.  I’d also like to thank our volunteers for their help as needed.

    And, last but not least, our sponsors XMission and Stackable, whom without their help, this event would have been less than stellar!

    See you all at #hackUTOS 2.0 in a few months!  Watch http://hack.utos.org for updates.

    Cheers,

    Clint

    It looks like #hackUTOS – A Code Festival is going to be roaring.  We’ve got 5 projects listed on our site, several people have told me they are coming to the event and plan to hack for the day.

    We’re very excited to have everyone coming to hack along with us!

    On Friday, I’ll be heading out to the grocery store to pick up snacks, drinks and the like for everyone to eat while they hack.  I’ll likely pick up some normal hacking event snacks, caffeine, sugar, chips and the like, but what kind of snacks would you like at #hackUTOS – A Code Festival?

    Take a moment to comment and list a few things you’d like to see while you hack :)

    Cheers,

    Have you ever thought:

    'Man, if only I had a few hours to start this software project?'

    or

    Wow, I sure wish I could help, but I'm not a coder, what could I do?"

    or

    I have all this awesome  skill, but I just want to work so give me something to do!"

    or

    'Well you get the point!
