Next Friday (25th April, 2008) Scred will be offering the use of our office to coders and designers who would like to spend some time together working on cool new stuff, whatever that might be. There will be no marketingpitches, blaring advertisements or anything else that will distract from the most important: creativity.

If you want to share an idea, feel free to do so.

If you want to ask advice, talk to your peers.

If all you want to do is sit by your computer, that is fine too.

We would like to invite all interested participants to join in, whatever it is they are working on. Share as much as you like, or nothing at all. Soak in what is going on around you. This is a relatively new concept and if it works out well, we’ll probably do more, or have other companies organising their own Night of Code.

We will start the night with an unconference. That is we will have 30 minute blocks when people can present and talk about topics they’re keen on, whatever those topics might be. That will continue for as long as there aretopics, followed by the real work. Announce a topic at the Night of Code, or beforehand on our blog.

Some refreshments will be on offer.

Schedule:

15:00-   Unconference
??:??    Coding
00:00    Goodbye  (or, “time to go home”)

The location:

The Cable Factory (Kaapelitehdas)
Door E, 5th Floor, Room 565
Helsinki, Finland

Update: If you’re planning to attend the event, you can also add yourself to the attendee lists on Facebook or Upcoming.

    Thanks for organizing the event. I’ll be there, hope I can share or ask more advice about the interesting Web 2.0

    Thanks to everyone who took part. Had a good time and the presentations were great. Hope to meet you all again in the near future. Lots of nice ideas flying back and forth.

    Perhaps we could try to make this into a semi-regular thing, like once a month, if there’s interest?
