Gentlefolk,
The iPhone hack contest is 2 days away on Saturday, March 14th. (Yes,
the BarCamp was consolidated into a single day. You! Get back to
coding!)
The contest will start at 4 PM on Saturday. I recommend that you
arrive by 3 PM so you have plenty of time to install your app in the
app simulator on the demo machine.
The key iPhone events are:
1) 10 AM - 12 Noon: Beginner code demos.
2) 12 - 4 PM: Unconference Mobile Talks.
3) 4 - 6 PM: iPhone Hack Contest.
4) 6 - 7 PM: iPhone Vivisection. (Yes, we are going to disassemble an
iPhone in front of everyone.)

P.S. Below is my original announcement.
------
Gentlefolk,
The organizers of BarCamp Austin 4, <http://barcamp.org/
BarCampAustin4>, are pleased to announce that we're hosting an iPhone
hacking/programming contest during the BarCamp. The BarCamp takes
place in parallel to the SxSW Interactive festival in a separate venue
on March 14th and 15th. Please see the website for those details.
As a reward for showing off your most excellent code, you will
receive the adulation of BarCampers everywhere as the most studly of
programmers. (Of course, since that probably won't buy you beer during
SxSW, there are 3 cash awards [1st: $200, 2nd:$100, 3rd:$50].)
There are rules to this hack contest:
1) The code must be written by one or two person teams. These are
personal projects.
2) The code must not yet be available on the Apple iTunes App Store.
This contest is about new code. We prefer code written between this
announcement date, March 2nd, and the award date, March 15th.
Judging Rules:
1) Humor matters.
2) The rule of the mob matters.
3) The judge's decisions are absolute unless bribed in public by
something too good to pass up.
Other mobile OSes are equal candidates in this contest. Android,
Crackberry, Nokia Ngage, WinMo, Palm OS and, the ever loved, Newton OS
hacks are welcome.
Andrew
P.S. We are in the process of acquiring schwag from other iPhone
related product vendors. The schwag will be distributed at the sole
whim of the judges. Be nice to us.
