falkirks commented 9 years ago

The theme for the Hackathon is being announced this Friday. I would like to have an IRC session with all of us either on Friday or Saturday.

Does anyone have any availability constraints?

Bamuel commented 9 years ago

im available almost 24/7

falkirks commented 9 years ago

@MegaSamNinja Great to hear.

99leonchang commented 9 years ago

I'll be available the majority of the time, however, timezones would be quite annoying as we have ~ 16 hrs time difference

falkirks commented 9 years ago

19 is the largest difference, but 

if($timeDiff >= 12 && $dayOfWeek != "sunday" && $dayOfWeek != "friday"){ //So that people aren't in school while it's the weekend for others
  $timeDiff %= 12;
}

The theme has been posted:

We know you have been anxiously waiting for the themes to be announced so that you can start brainstorming with your team members. So here they are: Problems facing our planet, explained using interactive data visualization. (e.g. climate change, earthquakes, food/water waste, etc.) Introduce software development to a beginner (games!) No one reads the fine print (i.e TOS, EULA, legal documents) anymore yet every site has them. Devise a creative/interactive solution for this problem. HTML5 games that are educational and learning oriented. (multiplayer preferred) Challenges associated with real time communication and translation (Star Trek universal translation anyone?
