What will you do at MilwaukeeDevHouse1?

MilwaukeeDevHouse1 MilwaukeeDevHouse1 will take place March 14, 2008, and we hope to see you there.

Sure, we hope to combines serious and not-so-serious productivity with a fun and exciting party atmosphere, but what do you plan do when you are there?

SuperHappyDevHouse23 just took place, and here’s a few things people had on their TO DO list for it:

  • solar-powered Arduino
  • Hello World in Adobe Air
  • home automation web UI
  • trying to learn how to write a stored proc in Postgresql
  • reading about hotel software.
  • Working on a coupl’a Facebook apps
  • Working on a random heatmap overlay generator

I’ve already had one person say “I’ll bring nasty toxic chemicals to etch PC boards and make something” so already, we’re looking at something interesting happening. :)

Web414 takes on the F1 Website Challenge

Some of the Web414 members will be trekking up to Minneapolis to compete in the F1 Website Challenge, which is a (friendly?) competition between web-builders to create web sites for Minnesota non-profit organizations.

Web414 at F1 Website Challenge The team from Web414 consists of Matt Gauger, Jeramey Jannene, Kevin Ciesielski, Blake Hall, Abraham Williams, Ashe Dryden, Sam Nobiensky, and Tracy Apps.

A few members of this team were responsible for kicking out ihatetreehouses.info in a matter of hours, in a late night session at BarCampMilwaukee2. Just imagine what they can do when they have an actual real-world project to focus on.

Sadly, I can’t take part, as I have to play soccer that weekend, but I look forward to seeing what they can do. And hey, it’s all for a good cause. In fact, I’ve already heard talk that a similar event for helping Wisconsin non-profit organizations may take place in Milwaukee in 2008. How’s that for cool?

I can’t help but guess that Web414 may end up using Drupal cuz most of us are fans of it. It’ll be interesting to see how they do against the other teams, who are listing things like .Net and Ruby as their platforms of choice.

Good luck Team Web414!
