Seo Master present to you:
Heading to Austin, TX for
South by Southwest (SXSW) this week? Good — so are we. And we’re planning what I hope will be a an event for the ages!
The festivities start at 1pm on March 13 with the opening of
The League of Extraordinary Hackers followed by a very special
SuperHappyDevHouse at 7pm at the
Speakeasy on
412 Congress Ave in Austin.
Business by day, hacking by night
From 1pm to 6pm, we’ll be hosting a series of 15-minute rapid-fire API briefings focused on Google’s latest developer offerings including: Android, Chrome, HTML5, Blogger, Google TV, Google Maps, App Engine, YouTube, Web Fonts, Cellbots, and Fusion Tables. Immediately following each talk, the speakers will be holding court during office hours in Speakeasy’s open air rooftop lounge.
At the same time, we’ll be demoing Google TV and the YouTube Leanback experience in the Leanback Lounge on the second floor. And if you’re just looking for a place to chill, meet other Google developers, or grab free WiFi and juice for your devices, we’ve got you covered in that department as well.
At 7pm, we’ll welcome the
SuperHappyDevHouse community for a night of hacking, lightning talks, a LEGO
® MINDSTORMS
® sumobot competition (!), steampunkery, and Google TV and Xbox 360
® Kinect
™ tomfoolery. And if a soundtrack co-curated on
Rdio weren’t enough to make your booty move, then come get loosened up with League-inspired elixirs concocted by Google’s own mixologist, Daniel “
Gin not Vodka” Nadasi!
This event promises to be one-of-a-kind and a rare respite from the pure partying events at SXSW. Of course it wouldn’t be possible with a great cast of sponsors including Google,
Windows Live,
The LEGO Group,
NPR,
Sencha,
Red Bull Creation,
Twilio, and
Rdio.
