Pre-HackDay Checklist

Things to Bring: 

• A wifi enabled laptop (international visitors; remember your power adapter)
• For overnight hacking bring a pullover or sweatshirt in case you feel cold at night
• If you are staying overnight, we will provide sleeping areas & bean bags. Not required but you may want to bring a sleeping bag if you need one to catch a nap on the Saturday night.
• We will provide you with food throughout the event, so there will be no need to bring your own.

Appserver hosted on a domain

         The hosting has arrived - thanks to Indobizweb. Indobizweb is sponsoring this year's Open Hack Day by offering free hosting accounts. All the details are on the signup form. PHP, subversion, MySQL and lots of disk space. Happy Hacking!

While your looking for hosting, you might want to look for a code-exchange platform so you can share code and changes with the rest of your team.

For instance : GitHub (free for open source),  subversion (self hosted), dropbox (free, easy, not a 'real' version control system) or trac (wiki, svn, ticketing, might be overkill for a weekend project).

Hacking on Blueprint, MailApps or Fire Eagle?

Just make sure that you have a web server on the internet where you can build out your app so that the Blueprint, Mail and Fire Eagle servers can talk to your app. It's probably better to have a server that support PHP5 but will send out more details later.

Also BBAuth requires you to have access to a root domain on the internet in case of Mail Applications Hacks.
