It's official: our next open Hack Day will take place June 16th and 17th, Saturday and Sunday, at the Alexandra Palace in London. More information is available now at hackday.org.

So there it is! My new employer, a young and promising internet startup and the BBC are organising the first open hack day in Europe. This brilliant event which will be held at the Alexandra Palace in London will allow 400+ talented people to attend hack-related presentations from some of the web's most respected developers. After that, a 24-hours hacking extravaganza will start with the support of pizza, beer, wi-fi and lots of help on the various Yahoo! API's from the experts. Make your idea a reality in 24 hours and who knows you'll end up being the best of show! You can win awards from sponsors and of course you'll have amazing bragging rights. The good news is, there's still some spots left for you all! So if you have an awesome idea with which you think you could become the star of the weekend then why not check it out and sign up?

Of course I'll be around so if you end up attending the event and you'd like to meet for a beer or some random geekery just drop me a line!
