Charity Code-a-thon: The 8 Hour Website-From-Scratch Challenge
As part of the digital festivities in 2008, Science City York invite you to don your laptops, creative juices, leadership skills and technological tenacity in order to develop a whole new website in only 8 hours - all for a local charity.
Everone is welcome to participate in the challenge and skills in the following areas would be greatly appreciated on the day:
- HTML & CSS design
- Logo/Graphic design
- Creative/Copy writers
- CMS/Backend development (eg: joomla)
- Photography
We are pleased to be joined by Brian Teeman - one of the founders of Joomla! and OpensSourceMatters Inc. In 2005 he was honoured to receive the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" for 2005. Brian spends much of his time advising Charities and faith groups on the best ways to develop and implement an online strategy.
Wi-Fi and refreshments will be provided to all participants.
Whether you're a participant or simply a spectator who wants to learn a bit more about the web development process, please come along and give your support.
The event will also be streamed on the web LIVE at www.digitalscarborough.org
