National Library are hosting a hackfest this Saturday.<br>
<br>
They'd love for the OLPC testing group to turn up - and they're<br>
putting on catering for us too.<br>
Edward and I will be there (Tabitha's in Auckland). It'll be great for<br>
the rest of the team to show up.<br>
<br>
See below, it's 10am-5pm, Saturday 20 June 2009<br>
Lower ground floor conference room, National Library of New Zealand<br>
Corner of Molesworth & Aitken Streets, Wellington<br>
<br>
If you can RSVP to me or to Jo Eaton below by Friday that would be<br>
great. They say they have kept 15 places for us, but would like to<br>
know how much coffee/pastry/pizza/beer to order for us.<br>

Come along and<br>
- Give our API a decent thrashing<br>
- Whip up some code samples to help other developers kick-start their<br>
own creations<br>
- Make nice stuff!<br>
- Consume pizza, beer and sugary confections<br>
- Score secret freebies - so secret, even we don't know what they are yet<br>
<br>
Bring yourself and your laptop. We'll provide the WiFi.<br>
This is a low-key event - feel free to come along for however long you<br>
can, even just a couple of hours.<br>

Fun! Tabitha do you want me to stop by your place to pick up the XOs to bring to this?<br>
<br>
It sucks when there's more people than computers.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hello OLPC and Sugar testers<br>
<br>
FYI - head to National Library this weekend with XOs for HackFest - info<br>
below. RSVP to <a href="mailto:jo.eaton@natlib.govt.nz">jo.eaton@natlib.govt.nz</a><br>
<br>
A big thanks to NatLib for the free WiFi and all they have offered for this<br>
Saturday.<br>
I will be out of town this weekend, but will definitely be in Wellington the<br>
following two Saturdays and look forward to hearing how it goes and getting<br>
back into our regular testing sessions.<br>
<br>
If anyone needs an XO for Saturday give me a call on 021 482229 on Friday to<br>
make arrangements.<br>

Have fun!<br>

Hi Tabitha!<br>
<br>
How're you doing?<br>
<br>
Brenda mentioned something about the OLPC friends group getting together on<br>
Saturday for a mini hack fest and that you might like to come hang out with<br>
us.<br>
<br>
We're having a mini one, too, on Saturday, that we've dubbed HackTest.<br>
<br>
I've copied in the details below. If you guys would like to relocate and<br>
help us out, we'd be happy to have you! We're providing a yummy pastry<br>
breakfast, pizza lunch and beer afternoon tea all for free to help fuel<br>
everyone.<br>
<br>
Here you go:<br>
<br>
We'd like to invite you to the first DigitalNZ Hack_Test_ before we let<br>
loosev on the unsuspecting public with HackFests.<br>
