| Event Description:
The third Nitobi Hack Day will be happening on May 24, 2008 from 10am to 6pm. You can come and start hacking at 9 but things will officially start at 10am SHARP! Of course you can always come by later and if you don't know anyone just ask for someone that works at Nitobi to show you the ropes.
The event is meant to bring hackers from around Vancouver to the Nitobi office and dedicate a day to building something amazing! That something can be hardware, software or whatever. The hacking is generally focused on Ajax (of course), social networking (Facebook, OpenSocial), wireless (Joe and I got this covered), cloud (EC2, GApp Engine), AIR / Flex, and web development in general - of course the hacking can still be robotics, Wii hacks or whatever you think is cool.
Nitobi will provide the foosball, beer, prizes and you provide the hax0r skillz.

Best Hack (from Hack Day 2)
Ryan Willoughby had the best Hack that was an Adobe AIR application that controlled music being played on a different computer - way cool and hopefully he will polish it up and release it for everyone! For his efforts Ryan won a copy of Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection!
Sources (iUI) I've uploaded the sources to the Vancouver.rb Rubyforge subversion repo for the mobile web application using the iUI library and Ruby on Rails 2.0. I've also started with an in-progess write-up titled "How To: Create a mobile web (iPhone) site using iUI and Ruby on Rails 2.0".
Thanks
Thanks to team Nitobi for the great event, sandwiches, beer and free books.
