UTOSF HackNight: Part Deux - Tonight

Well, right on the heels of last weekends uber successful HackNight, it looks like the snow may keep some people from coming up, but we’re still planning on having a mostly ad-hoc HackNight tonight.  The project again will be ConMan.

We’re meeting at my place @6:00 in Murray and we’ll have food and hack for a long, long time!

See you all tonight for an awesome hackfest!

UTOSF HackNight - Tonight: New Location: Guru Labs

UPDATE!

A quick update for those who are planning on attending tonight’s UTOSF HackNight. Its been moved to Guru Labs in Bountiful. If you still need a ride, feel free to email me, herlo1@gmail or you can twitter me at http://twitter.com/herlo.

If you still need a ride up, we’ll carpool/caravan up from my place @6:30 (instead of 7pm) in Murray. I’ll be leaving promptly at 6:30, however. If you’ve never been to Guru Labs, here’s a map.

See you all tonight for an awesome hackfest!

Cheers,

Herlo

UTOSF HackNight - Tonight: Possible Change of Venue

Well, it appears that I am one of the many victims of Qwest and their lurid line noise issues, thus no DSL for me! Because of this, I’m in the process of scrambling for a new location for our UTOSF HackNight this evening. If anyone who’s coming would like to donate their location, or know of some place central to those in Salt Lake County with free wireless and open all night, let me know. I accept emails at herlo1@gmail or you can twitter me at http://twitter.com/herlo.

If nothing pans out, fear not, I do have a possible alternate location for this event, which I should be able to arrange for by the end of the day as a backup plan. As it stands now, everyone should just arrive at my place @6:30 (instead of 7pm) in Murray and we’ll carpool and caravan as desired.

See you all tonight for an awesome hackfest!

Cheers,

Herlo

Giver - Give Files

So tonight I met Calvin Gaisford of Giver fame. One of the things I was interested in getting going was Giver and couldn’t get it built until tonight during the Tomboy Hacking Night at Novell.

Giver takes quite a bit of work to get running and its from source only right now. I hope to actually build an rpm of Giver and push it up into the Fedora build process but have really no idea how to do so. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

Calvin and the rest of the guys were great. We got quite a bit done on Tomboy tonight (I got it to build from source for the first time) and we’ll be planning more of these locally as well. In fact, Calvin took us up to the 7th floor of Novell and got us some cool swag too.

Thanks gang!

Cheers,
