Hello GigHackers,

Just a friendly reminder:

Please post your project on ChallengePost before NOON.

This is important to determine who will be on stage in front of the other cities ;)

I can smell the BBQ already...

Prepare your Draft on ChallengePost

Hey GigHackers!

Hope you are enjoying your time and hacking hard! You still have a long night ahead...

We wanted to remind you that every team should start their early draft of their submission on the ChallengePost. Final submission needs to be entered before NOON tomorrow.

Your submission should include:

Brief description of your application/hack
Why ultra fast broadband will benefit your application/hack?
What are the benefits for the users?
Small video of the application/hack and/or screenshot

FROM NOON to 1PM, you will have to vote for your favourite hack on ChallengePost. The crowd's favourite will get to demo in…

GigHacks - The Essentials

We are getting excited as GigHacks approaches and wanted to invite you to a community call today with Maire Reavy, the Lead of Mozilla’s WebRTC team, and at least one of her engineers. Someone from Oovoo is going to be calling in as well and we invited Justin Uberti, Lead of Google’s WebRTC team so we should have a good call. If you can’t make it today, we would love to have you join us on one of our twice-weekly community calls.

Updates, prospective projects and more below.

Start getting excited!
