Dear Bay Area tech community—
We are organizing a first-of-its-kind multi-city gigabit-focused hackathon called GigHacks, May 1-3 across five cities: Downtown SF, the Google Fiber Space in KC, Chattanooga’s “GigLab” at the public library, Burlington VT, and Charlotte NC.
Our goal is grow the ecosystem of technologists working to empower people with the application of blink-of-an-eye responsive, sharing-based, always-on reliable networks – what we like to call “gigabit” applications.
You’ll have the opportunity to team up with talented startups & tech companies, developers & designers, students & entrepreneurs, thinkers & doers. Join teams already building gigabit apps or start something new.
We’ll connect with 5 gigabit communities across the country over BBQ & broadband, telepresence robots & video wormholes, remote music jam sessions & much more.
We are hoping to shine light on what is possible: demo for the media and judges including the Head of Product for Google Fiber and the CIO of San Francisco.
Finally, you’ll get to advance apps for entertainment, education, telemedicine, and more. Experts & resources from Orange, Mozilla, US Ignite, the Google Fiber Space in KC and more will help turn gigabit ideas into reality. Come hack with us!
PROSPECTIVE PROJECTS Prospective projects are starting to form – please edit/comment.
