Berlin Hack & Tell #58 - Hacking Heavy

Elon Musk was saying in a press conference after the successful Falcon Heavy launch this month:

'Crazy Things Can Come True'

We know. And we want to see them! So we are again looking for fun, useful or plain crazy ideas you put in code! But really, all hacks are welcome (as long they fit our bhnt.rules guidelines -- see below!) WE NEED YOU - without your demos there's no show! We have 8 demo slots up for grabs, FIFO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and_electronics)) style.

There will be no food - this is a feature and not a bug. Please eat before or after the event:-)

If your company is looking to get in front of a bunch of developers, this is our cheat sheet to sponsoring Berlin Hack and Tell (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B63FtzFoCw0_V0J4eG5pdDFjRW8)

bhnt.rules

As always, we don't want to limit the kind of hacks. Demo cool stuff, no matter if it's an mobile app, website, desktop program or library. Anything is allowed, just cross the line to awesomeness - and if it fails it should do it beautifully.

There are not many rules, but:

• You'll get 5 minutes to present in English
• you or your team should have built it yourself
• people can ask you afterwards
• NO PURE SLIDEDECKS, no pitches, only demos + code
• keep in mind that the audiences is highly technical and starts snoring if you do marketing voodoo
• show us code!!! (reasonable exemptions may be possible)
• entertain us!
• You only show us projects you developed. Nothing "cool" you've downloaded from somewhere.

if( you.isSure ){ bhnt.rsvp(you, true) }

If you come, tell us through Meetup. If you want to present, raise your hand during the event. And if you have feedback please send it to berlin@hackandtell.org. Our relaxed event will only as good as everybody makes it. Bring your hacks and your friends and join us for the evening.

PS: Presenters get a reserved seat. If you want to join for sure you should bring a hack and contact us.
