Regarding next week's hack day, please, do let us know any hacking ideas that you have: I bet that there will be hackers looking for projects (e.g. me :-)), and anything you suggest can ring someone's bell. And we can even take this one step further. Instead of the solo-hacking I did for the firts edition, I'm trying to assemble an IBM Barcelona team for next week; it will be hard, because year end is never easy, but I'll try to bug some friends. Can we try to work together on this? Can we try to do a proof of concept of having customer involvement in ibm's hack day? It won't be easy to arrange, since we don't have a lot of time, but I think that it is worth trying. Ferran, it is great for us IBMers to know that there is customer awareness of our Hack Day!

IBM held our first Hack Day last summer, a spur-of-the-moment activity generated by my post about Yahoo!'s Hack Day on my internal blog. In two weeks, we threw together a 1/2 day event with * 57 entries * 54 unique teams (some teams had multiple submissions) * 64 unique IBMers participating (some had multiple entries)* Categories: 37 Programming, 16 Ideas, 4 Design As we figure out where to go with this, it would be great to have an Open Hack Day event with participants outside of IBM, and that's one of the options being considered. But my guess is that for December's effort (jeez, that's only a few weeks away) it will probably be an internal effort. Thanks for spreading the word!
