Yahoo! Open Hack Day, Sept. 12-13, 2008
September 2, 2008 on 10:15 am | In Events |
Yahoo! is hosting its second public Hack Day here on our Sunnyvale, CA campus from September 12-13, 2008.
Usually hack days are for Yahoo! employees only. But this event is a wide open, public hack day where people with a passion for Yahoo! products can come together to build and share their best ideas for extending, re-shaping and mashing together our products and features.
We’ve profiled a few Yahoo! Messenger hacks here on the blog, but if you’ve got one in mind and want to bring it to life, come to our Hack Day. You’ll be surrounded by other hackers working on the next great Yahoo! idea. Your hack idea doesn’t have to involve Yahoo! Messenger, but we sure would love it! 
To sign up for a Hack Day invitation, visit http://www.hackday.org.
Looking for inspiration? Check out the brief video for Hack Day below, or take a look at some of our past articles on Yahoo! Messenger ideas that have come out of our internal hack days.

OK guys, can I ask a question??? How come I’ve never heard of Hack Day?? makes me wonder because I’m on yahoo everyday, and How come when a new version of messenger comes, all users of the older vesrsions aren’t notified???we used to be… Anyway, I’m just wondering that and also why doesn’t the newest versions of Yahoo! Messenger wipe the older versions from our hard drives, optimizing them and getting rid of extraneous information??? Thanks..HrricneGeorges

Hi agent_s87,
Hack Day is an event being held at our headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA. So yes, you’d need to be there in person to share your idea. But after the event I think they will post the winning hacks on hackday.org so you can at least check in afterwards to see what went on. Thanks
