The 1st Perennial San Francisco '''Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon''' ("Stupid Hackathon" for short) will run
* 2pm, May 9th to 5pm, May 10th, 2015
* At Noisebridge (and possibly other scatologically-friendly sites)

== Volunteer! ==

The hackathon needs more people to help make this shitty thing run as smoothly as possible and still be fun.
Helping out should ITSELF be fun (in an anal-retentive sense?), so please join the party.

Things you shitty people can do to help the hackathon:
* Welcoming other shitty people to Noisebridge, and showing them the lay of the land.
* Selling shitty t-shirts so that people will not be naked on top.
* Doing the standard thang of "making sure people's behavior isn't TOO shitty" (in UNexcellent ways.)
* ???

The below schedule has day and time slots for all you shitty people out there.
Doo sign up!

Five Minutes of Fame

2015-05-05T06:08:57Z

50.185.140.203:

==What is it?==

Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. Our implementation is ten five minute talks in an hour, with a short intermission so you can get another beer.

Check out these 30 seconds of fame excerpts for a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQUGQ3Plj-w

==When and where does it happen?==

Third Thursday of every month at 7pm/8pm, at Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St, San Francisco.



=== Five Minutes of Fame is happening again! And it'll stick this time! ===
'''''The next Five Minutes of Fame is:'' Thursday, May 21st, 8pm!'''

As if you needed ANY reminder, Five Minutes of Fame is Noisebridge's ADD
show-and-tell, squashing octets of human awesomeness into an hour like
booleans in a packed byte.

==Why are we doing this?==

There are many reasons:
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help, maybe they want to propose an idea to the Noisebridge community.
* Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out, in a community of peers.
* San Francisco is the mecca for startups. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.

Linux Fest North West

2015-03-11T07:11:14Z

50.185.140.203:

An annual conference held on the last weekend of April in Bellingham, WA with talks on F/OSS issues, security, networking and Linux applications.

== Where ==
Bellingham Technical College, Bellingham WA [http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/2015/venue Map and directions on the LFNW site]

== When ==
April 25th and 26th 2015

== Who's going ==

So far
* [[User:patrickod|patrickod]]
* [[User:tdfischer|tdfischer]]
* [https://twitter.com/explain_analyze Jay]
* [[User:hzeller]]?
* [[User:Carl|Carl]] +3 traveling to Portland on the same train.

== Hackers on a Train ==
In addition to the actual LFNW event some of us are taking the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Starlight Coast Starlight] train from SF to Seattle two days before the event to hold a ~22 hour hackathon on board as we take in the Pacific coast scenery.

We'll be leaving from Jack London Square station on Wednesday night at ~10pm, arriving into Seattle the following day around 8pm. We'll spend a day roaming Seattle and making our way to Bellingham for the event the following day.

Interested? Add yourself to the list above and email everyone. This is our first attempt at making this happen and we'd love to have you join :)

== How folks are getting there ==

Its pretty much a free for all. The idea started when tdfischer, patrickod, and Jay- thought going on a train to LFNW 2015 would be a fun idea, so their plan starts on the 22nd:

Train details are as follows
*Depart*: OKJ (Oakland Jack London) Wed 22nd April @ 9:39pm
*Arrive*: SEA (Seattle King Street) Thu 23rd April @ 8:37pm
*Train*: 14 Coast Starlight
*Ticket: *Value Ticket, Upper Level ($104)
