Over the Air 2012
Event Info
Description
Up for a bit code-breaking with your code-making?
The 5th annual Over the Air will be held on Friday the 1st of Saturday the 2nd of June at Bletchley Park - for two days up to 600 mobile developers & designers will be based at Station X, hacking in the shadows of the WWII Enigma & Lorenz code-breakers, and hanging out at the home of Colossus the world's first programmable computer....we're planning on launching the Alan Turing Centenary Year celebrations in style!
Over the Air is a unique tech-agnostic event for and by the developer community, featuring technical workshops where attendees can roll up their sleeves and tinker with new platforms, operating systems, APIs & SDKs; and tutorial sessions that feature real business cases & new insights. Last year we explored the themes of security and encryption, and this year we'd like to make a strong connection with Alan Turing's legacy.
On Friday evening there will be a series of inspirational Ignite Bletchley Park talks, which we also open up to the community for proposals. Attendees are invited to stay overnight so that they can work on ideas, apps and hacks on the fly – to be entered into the various Hackday competition categories and demo’ed on the second day. It’s a great vibe of bean bags, gadgets, knowledge sharing, hacking & lots of good geekery.
It's free to attend, other than a small £5 donation to charity (yet to be deterimined), and a breeze to reach from London Euston Station. Keep on top of the latest news by subscribing to our RSS feed or following us on Twitter.
Hope to see you there,
Margaret, Matthew & Dan
