Dashboard Auto-refresh

You know what?! The dashboard does now AUTO REFRESH. I know, right?! I thought it was a nice feature to have, now when it's like .. four hours left of the hackathon.

There's some GitHub commit hooks and Socket.io involved.

Staying the night?

We (the admins) will be here all night, so you (the hackers) are free to stay through the night if you like!

If you go home, remember to keep your name tag, and also check the on call number when you want to come back in.

Daniel from Frontcell

Teams!

Nice to meet you. I am Daniel. I speak iOS since 2008. Came late to the hack, i.e. without a team right now. Will code for food and the occasional beer.

Daniel Mijic, Frontcell

Commit Highlights

Pizza ...

... will arrive around 19. We've estimated around half a pizza per person.

We'll pop out some chilled beer for those who want at the same time.

Cheers!

Coffee ...

If it runs out in the thermos, ask for more, we'll make more :-)

Cheers!

Presentations galore!

Those of you who plan on doing something that require more than the standard HDMI video and sound for your presentations, please contact us ADMINs asap so we can test everything out before the real presentations.

Cheers!
