SuperHappyDevHouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Super Happy Dev House, or SHDH is a semi-regular social event that styles itself as party for hackers and thinkers. People, whether technical or creative, gather at a private home for not-so-serious productivity and socialization. It's a non-exclusive event intended for passionate and creative technical people that want to have some fun, learn new things, and meet new people.

The lifecaster and video journalist Sarah Meyers described the goals of Super Happy Dev House while comparing it to the Homebrew Computer Club:

I started attending Super Happy Dev House last year because I wanted to meet other people who are just as fascinated with technology as I am. It’s a place where young people collaborate to get our work done and do it together. It was started by my new friend David Weekly, founder of PB Wiki, in the spirit to bring back the Homebrew Computer Club in Silicon Valley. The club consists of mostly males, although the number of females is growing, and everyone seems to be either an engineer or a designer. At Super Happy Dev House we are driven to create because we want to help humanity and empower people. Just as every member to Super Happy Dev House comes from a different background, we come together for a common purpose. That’s what we want to do for others- we want to enable them to come together for a common purpose to help humanity. We see different parts of technology as different elements that come together to create a key that will unlock a door that will change the world. [1]

The original SHDH was in Hillsborough, California and several since have taken place in Los Gatos, California. There are now several DevHouses around the world, including Zurich, Vancouver, Boston, Cologne (Germany) and New Zealand.
