[Mashed] Would You Like To Volunteer For My Mashed Project?

Posted on June 16, 2008

As you may recall, I’m working on something for the BBC’s Mashed event this coming weekend. I’m delighted to report that the final few pieces are falling into place (in readiness for my nail-gun…). That means that the next part of the project - actually using the hack after it is built - comes into play.

So, can you spare two hours during the Mashed event to get involved in the project? Again, without fully describing it (tease!) you might be a touch wary, but let me explain a few more things.

Firstly, this isn’t an embarrassing thing (it’s not a Web 2.0 Gunge Tank), it is a genuine challenge, that will take place over a 24 hour period. There will be two ’seats’ for each 90 minute to 2 hour slot, starting at 1pm on the Saturday, through to 1pm on the Sunday. Some slots are taken (for example I’ll be doing the graveyard 1am to 5am slot, although if you care to join me in the darkness, that’s fine…), but I’d love to accomodate as many people as possible to make it a genuine collaboration,. Full credit and training will be given, no prior skills in anything required.

Of course it (a) leaves you plenty time to work on other hacks and (b) because of the positioning of the hack, you won’t miss any of the scheduled events in the hall. Feel free to leave your sign-up in the comments here, mail me on ewanspence@gmail.com, or ping me on the Mashed Network.

To sum up the hints…

This physical thing needs two people at a time to make it work.
It will run for 24 hours.
It will have a definitive start and end.
And part of it will look like this:

    I’m taking part. Although I’m slightly worried about the build phase. Can geeks handle nailguns and wallpaper brushes?
