MIKAMAI is proud to host the Hack-Up on January 18!


But what’s Hack-Up? And why would anybody be interested in it?


Hack-Up is an informal meeting for people sharing a common passion for technology, hacking devices and code.

It works like this: people propose different ideas and groups are self-assembled. Each group has to develop a project in 4 hours. All projects are published in an open wiki allowing anybody to use or implement them. No long term commitment, no remorse about leaving, no problem branching the project and building on it and making it your own. It’s that easy!

These are the projects we are going to focus on:

  • Continue Project TAG from previous Hack-Up to create an easy way to put projects online.
  • Video manipulation: flash applications to allow shared videos manipulation of virtual objects.
  • Continue Arduino Jabber Knock from previos Hack-Up to get it routed via Pachoube.

Wow! I’m in! What should I do?

You may confirm your participation and join us on jan 18 at midday @Frida or at 2pm right here @MIKAMAI !

Stacktrace was and idea of Antonio Cangiano. He felt that Italy missed an authoritative and original technology reference, and contacted about thirty of the best Italy has to offer, people I am very proud I could work with, to prepare the lightning quick launch of a wonderful site full of original, well written and interesting content.

If you can understand some Italian you should check Stacktrace. You’ll be glad you did.
