Welcome to dev4good

Registration for 2012 is open! - 7th,8th July London UK

We have a venue for this years event, the newly opened UK Mozilla foundation offices in the west end of London, a massive thanks to Mozilla and their UK team for their help and support!

We are running dev4good to bring together talented thinkers and coders to collaborate in teams and create solutions that could change the way people live their lives.

Brief

We only get a weekend to do it, sleep will be optional, it's agile development environment, the 'flying by the seat of your pants' kind.
There are no ties to any particular vendor or platform, everyone simply brings their skills, knowledge and passion for developing/designing good software.

If you a software/web/mobile developer (any platform), a graphic artist, designer, database admin, no-sql developer or are just interested in helping build some cool applications and think you are interested in finding out more about this exciting event contact us to be the first to hear when registration opens or check why you should attend.

Remember, this event is a not for profit event, all code written will be available after the event for others to use or help develop.

 

Your help

We are currently looking for more sponsors to help outcover our costs for the food, drinks, accommodation for our volunteers and of course the obligatory swag bags, if you can help please contact us.

If you are a UK charity or a community based organisation, have a look at what we could do for you 

 

"The Ministry of stories"

MoSThe Ministry of Stories was founded by Nick Hornby and co-directors Lucy Macnab and Ben Payne. Hidden away at the back of The Monster Shop (where else would you expect it?), the Ministry of Stories provides a free space for fresh writing by young people. Here in Hoxton we provide workshops and one-to-one mentoring. The services are provided by volunteers: local writers, artists and teachers, all giving their time and talent for free.

 

Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make a difference last year!

 

dev4good was setup and is run by Craig Hogan (@chilllfire), and is a not-for-profit community group.

What happens...

when you lock a team of software developers in a building?

  • With nothing but a problem
  • a tonne of energy drink
  • an endless supply of caffiene
  • a weekend of dev time?

 

Explosive development

Do you think you have what it takes to build a team and a solution in possibly the most explosive developer environment you could imagine?

Ready to compete for a chance of glory?
