More information are available on the upcoming site below http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/190628/ The idea is simple, if you have ever written an XSLT stylesheet or wondered what all the hullabaloo (do people still use this word?) is all about, then come join us for our first London user group meeting. Of course if you just happen to be in the vicinity and want to meet some pretty cool people, then come along too. It's less of a XSL steering group and more about getting people with the right skills available to help out those without. And the ensuing benefits which might potentially arise of course. There is a mailing list at http://mail.xslug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/london subscribe to be updated about upcoming events. (it's not at all noisy) -- Otu Ekanem http://rants.ekanem.de

[backstage] Hack Day - PHP team?
Well, the first round of place confirmations for Hack Day have gone out, and I'm lucky enough to be in - so, does anyone want to form a PHP team? I'd go for something more hip like Ruby on Rails, but I figured that for speedy developing it's best to stick with the language I'm most comfortable with. I'm generally interested in making entertaining hacks rather than massively useful ones - games and the like. Cheers, -- Tom Scott - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] Hack Day - PHP team?
I've just completed the first version of an online cartoon generator: http://take.corrugationstreet.com/Takeaway_cartoon/ It uses BBC RSS feeds to build captions/ speech. Would this be interesting for hack day? Maybe to develop it further? thanks, Dave On 18/05/07, Tom Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, the first round of place confirmations for Hack Day have gone out, and I'm lucky enough to be in - so, does anyone want to form a PHP team?

Re: [backstage] attendin' Hackday
Okay - in an effort to cut off the massive flow of I'm attending, want to make a team traffic that I've already contributed to - and because there seems to be no other official discussion routes! - I've set up http://hackdaylondon.pbwiki.com as a strictly unofficial Wiki site. Hopefully it'll be a useful discussion point as it is for BarCamp - there's a starting template for team lists and interests, useful links, etc. etc. It'll probably get overtaken by an official discussion board at some point, but it should do in the meantime! -- Tom gareth rushgrove wrote: Yeah, Some good news!

RE: [backstage] attendin' Hackday
argh that page makes me wish I was going. hackday clearly needs flash/ flex! JC, I'm clearly missing something, but how is the web page you link to navigable by keyboard only? I had to use my mouse. Tab, space, enter and the arrows - all standard conventional access keys produce no response from the page.
