Here are the tech talks slides from today's talks.

YAP and YOS: http://www.slideshare.net/jcleblanc

YUI: http://whimsical.nu/hack/yui-slides.pdf

 

How to Present

Hack demos begin on Sunday at 2pm sharp. Arrive early, pick up your hacker bib displaying your hack number at the registration/info table. 

Listen for helpers on the floor calling out your hack numbers to set up at one of the stations. The stations will have VGA out, audio out and hard-line network (in case the WiFi acts up). Set your screens to demo at 1024x768. If your demo has other needs, emailapatel@yahoo-inc.comin advance so we can try to accommodate you.

Once you’re onstage ready to go, wait for the emcees to call your name and number and then it’s showtime. You’ll only have 90 seconds, so efficiency is key. Be sure to state your name and the name of your hack, briefly state the problem, and then jump right into showing your demo and how it solves the problem. Be concise, get your point across, practice, practice, practice, and don’t forget tohave fun!

Once all the hacks have been shown, the judges will leave the room to deliberate and return to announce the winners and award prizes.

 

Hack Submissions

 

Many of you have already been forming teams either on the site or off-site. It’s great to see this energy. To further help you in both forming your teams officially and maybe beginning to create the shell of your hacks we are opening up the Hack.Trackr tool from this Friday to you all. Since your hacks will not be fully fleshed out yet or still early in the inception you could put in a placeholder for your hack & team and as it gets more refined you can update your hack entries with the details. This tool will also allow us to help you on your hacks through the 24 hour hack day. Here are the 2 steps you need to do follow to properly enter your hack:

login to yahoo.com with your yahoo account so you can add/update your hack entries

Enter as much details as you can or want on the Hack.Trackr (http://developer.yahoo.com/hacku/register)

24 hour hacking will kick off at 13:00pm Saturday. Only hacks that have been entered in the Hack.Trackr will be allowed to demo on Sunday at 2pm.

 

 

 

 

 

Change to Agenda

 

Due to an increase in demand and also for calls to have all the talks shown one after another, we have changed the schedule of the talks, The talks will now run from 9:30 to 16:00 with a lunch break in the middle. The hacking will still start at 13:00. Please check out the new Agenda here.
