>> Lonely Planet’s Over the Air Hack Day
Over the Air is a mobile ‘hack day’ with hundreds of mobile developers in one room for 48 hours building on Lonely Planet APIs and platforms. Over the Air is a grass-roots mobile developer event that is completely unique in the mobile industry events calendar – it is free to attend, is hands-on in the style of hack-days and bar-camps, covers the cutting edge of current mobile development, and features bean bags, a big party and an overnight sleep-over.
For the first time, this year’s inaugural event is organized by Lonely Planet in partnership with Betavine and OMTP and held at Imperial College in London from 25-26th September. We’ve invited, over 350 Mobile developers, designers, and enthusiasts (many flying in from the continent to attend). Topics include Open Source, Java, Symbian (Series-60), Mobile Web, Mobile Ajax, Android, Mobile Linux, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, etc.
If you’d like to attend the event please contact angela.wilkinson@lonelyplanet.co.uk
