Where and when
We'll be hacking at the 10gen offices at *Unit 2G, 5-25 Scrutton Street*
(EC2A 4HJ), near Old Street, map <http://osm.org/go/euu6FYurq--?m>. You
want to use the right hand door of "Zetland House" and in order for you
to get in, you need to give Derick a ring. For Derick's phone #, message
him through the OSM messaging system for user name here
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Derick%20Rethans>, or DM him on
twitter <http://twitter.com/derickr>. photo of the door coming soon.
(You can also reach Harry on O7979815013 )
We'll be hacking from *10a.m. till 6p.m* on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd.
There will also be pub shenanigans on Saturday and probably Sunday
evening. We are able to come and go, and you are allowed to attend just
some of the time, but you do need to be on the list to enter the building.
Hosted by 10gen with food by placr.co.uk
Big thanks to our hosts: 10gen <http://www.10gen.com>, the mongoDB
company. (and Derick <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Derick>)
More big thanks to placr.co.uk <http://placr.co.uk> who are sponsoring
the hack weekend (a.k.a. paying for some lunch)
Pub shenanigans
We'll be downing tools and heading for some light refreshment on
Saturday and Sunday.
6-7pm at *The Fox* pub in Shoreditch (map
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.523392&mlon=-0.084144&zoom=18&layers=M>).
We'll be aiming to hit the pub some time around 6-7pm so if you're only
free in the evening, or you're scared of laptops, come join us for beers
instead! We may move on a bit later on. Because not sure if the pub does
food.
Pre-drinks on Friday 30th? We /could/ do this, but currently no plans.
If there's some folks travelling to London and making a weekend of it,
then we should gather to help make the most of it! Let us know below.

What is this? Event format
An OpenStreetMap "hack weekend" is a meet-up where we bring along
laptops to an office space and spend the weekend doing some technical
work on and around OpenStreetMap. We'll be working on improving
OpenStreetMap's "core" components
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Components>, the editors
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editors>, or other peripheral tools
and services. But you can also hack on your own pet projects, and you
are very welcome to bring along questions and challenges related to your
/use/ of OpenStreetMap, whether you are exploring ways of embedding the
map on your website, or getting to grips with geodata manipulations.
OpenStreetMap has development
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Develop> tasks sprouting from it in
all directions. There's work to do in almost any programming language,
as well as less technical tasks like documentation, graphics design and
translation. If you're not sure where to get started, we'd love to show
you where you can help!
We mostly take a fairly unstructured free-form format. People turn up
and start beavering away on something, or they turn up and see what they
can help with.
Workshops
We'll do some workshops again in if there is demand. Previously we've
had workshops on the rails port coding ideas, and Potlatch 2, and using git
Travelling to London
In the past we've had people making a special journey to London to be at
the hack weekend, even from other countries. Get in touch if you need a
spare sofa to sleep on.
Other Events

Read about the past London Hack Weekend May 2011
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_Hack_Weekend_May_2011> and
other similar events in Category:Hack Day
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Hack_Day> to get a feel for
what this will be like.
Ideas for themes / targets
/This is just a rough ideas brainstorm. Put your ideas here!/
* The Rails Port <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/The_Rails_Port>
o *Notes* (formerly known as OpenStreetBugs). ...deploy??
o *activity streams* display. A more compelling 'user profile'.
o *Tag editing* capability of the browse display.
+ Comment: Yes, please! (I was thinking of developing a
Greasemonkey script for this but I couldn't find the
time.)
o *Messaging*
+ Dialogs chaining, like in gmail or facebook?
+ Public message walls like in Wikipedia?
* POI hacking
o *POI planet*
o *POI editor* - reduced capability editor perhaps a branch of
the new iD <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID> editor?
Deployable for a specific interest area.
o *Bike Shop Locator*, *snapshot-server*. and generic tools
for 'community import' of POIs.
* The new iD <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID> editor. Loads
of dev to do, but also lots happening between RichardF & MapBox
guys (needs discussion to avoid clashes)
* Expand mod_tile to generate UTFGrid outputs alongside png output
* Andy will be hacking on openstreetmap-carto
<https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto>
* *Transport!*
o Hacks related to railways and bus data are of interest to
our sponsors placr.co.uk <http://placr.co.uk> (chat to Harry
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Harry_Wood> about
your ideas)
