Postponed: Hack Day 11/14-11/15

UPDATE: we've decided to postpone hack day until after the holidays in the new year.  Hope to see everyone then!

I'm excited to announce that in just three weekends we'll be having our first open Hack Day at the Netflix campus in Los Gatos.  The event will run from 12pm on Friday, November 14th through 3pm Saturday the 15th. 

Bring your ideas and mad programming skills.  Build one of the better hacks and walk away with the admiration of your peers as well as one of many prizes (Netflix-enabled Blu-ray player, anyone?)

Members of the API team will be on hand to meet you and answer any of your questions.  Food and ample supplies of caffeine will be provided, of course.

To sign up, please send your name, email address, and tentative project (if you know already) in an email with the subject "hack day" to apisupport@netflix.com.  We'll be accepting applications and selecting up to 100 participants on an ongoing basis through next Wednesday, Nov. 5th.

Please visit the hack day forum for more information, to get your questions about the event answered or to form teams.

    Armando, I wish we could, but we're only going to be able to support local hackers for this first event.

    Can you email the registered developers and let us now when you are ready to host this event. I am very much interested in attending the event.

    Thanks

    This blog is our primary communication vehicle but we may send out emails as well. I'm a little sensitive to emailing folks since we don't have an opt-out for those that don't want to be bugged.
