Rewired State had The Boat that Hacked TV (and here’s a video of a great hack from that event)
Coming up:
May 23, 2012 - « L’Autobus des créateurs » - Montreal
“L’Autobus des créateurs est un espace créatif mobile qui fera le tour de l’île de Montréal le 23 mai 2012. Lors de ce trajet d’une demi-journée, des développeurs intéressés à trouver des solutions créatives aux problèmes de transport à Montréal embarqueront dans l’Autobus des créateurs avec pour mission de proposer un projet web ou mobile. Une fois arrivés à destination, les participants devront être en mesure de commencer la mise en œuvre du projet.”
Rough translation: the hackerbus (or maybe makerbus) is a mobile creative space that will go around the Island of Montreal May 23, 2012. During the half-day trip, developers interested in finding creative solutions to transportation problems in Montreal will travel on the hackerbus, with their mission being to propose a web or mobile project. Once they have arrived at their destination, the participants should be ready to start working on the project.
June 16, 2012 - The Hackatrain - Chicago
Web developers and designers will solve a transportation problem building software while riding the Chicago Brown Line.
On Saturday the teams will meet in the Hackacave, a strategic downtown location and wait turns to ride and hack in the train.
The Hackatrain will ride most of the day and teams are expected to complete their apps while riding the train.
Hmm, what should we do for Ottawa Transit Data Day? Double-decker databus, anyone?
