Welcome to the geek den
17 August 2007 | admin | 0 Comments
Just to recap the premise of FullCodePress, the idea is to gather together two teams to build two websites, for two non-profit organisations. The catch? There’s only 24hours to acheive this mammoth feat.
We’re off to a great start on this sunny Sydney morning. The teams have gathered, volunteers are slowly rolling in and the introductions went well. Russ and Roger are about to announce the organisations so I’ll hold off on discussing that for now but I can say that I am very pleased with their choice of organisations, feeling warm and fuzzy about it all right now.
I’m currently embedded in the geek den, for want of a better word. Kym and Fiona, our lovely web hosts are sitting beside me, doing a bang up job of getting the server environment just right for both teams. It’s an interesting experiment because we have no idea what platforms/tools the teams are going to choose to get the job done. Will they need a drupal content management system or wordpress? We have photographers roaming who will be uploading to flickr, videographers for youtube and I’ll be here for the next 24hrs blogging primarily for the Australian team and attempting to capture the invigorating highs and lows, the joys and triumphs, not to mention the sleep deprivation inspired madness. Time is ticking away…let the games begin!
