Talk:Hack Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A couple of comments here, for wider discussion. Firstly it seems to me like the name of this page should be "Hack Day" rather than Open Hack Day. Then it would be possible to put in more about the origins of Hack Day inside Yahoo as well as to more easily talk about Hack Day London and Hack Day India. The absence of Hack Day London also seems a bit strange, given that it was a joint Yahoo/BBC event of comparable size to the US event, got hit by lightning and was held at Alexandra Palace. Thoughts?

I agree - it seems weird that this is called Open Hack Day. There's no evidence that anyone has ever called the series of events that Yahoo hold an Open Hack Day, nor is there any evidence that anyone else significant has held events under the Open Hack Day imprint. Similarly, the London event needs more coverage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.59.192.116 (talk) 03:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] General Hack Day?

Other companies have Hack Days too! Hack Days are - for other companies - days when employees are free to develop whatever hobby projects they may have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.209.12.90 (talk) 09:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
