This year, groups and companies around Wellington are coming together
to organise another great event to be held on Sunday 20th September
at the Wellington Town Hall and Michael Fowler Convention Center,
from 9am to 5pm.
Come and take part in the hackfest, installfest, a makerfest, barcamp
and techtalks!
We are introducing 2 new streams this year, a kids programme and a
student programme, where we aim to give attendees the opportunity
to participate in a variety of activies - from taking the first
steps into programming or testing OLPC laptops in the kids programme,
to hearing about what it's like to work in the industry or learning
about how open source solutions can help enhance your job prospects
in the students programme!
