First up we had Otto Virta who had bravely risen from his sick bed to come and tell us all about how to use the power of HTML 5 to be able to build apps quickly. Slides are online here Next up was Elias Pietila, who could not quite manage to drop Wooden Labyrinth 3D [...]
So, that’s us over for another year. This time there was only around 30 of us, but we got to listen to some really good talks. I think I got most of it captured on an N8, and all the speakers have agreed to share their slides. If you have not already, like us on [...]
Once again, Qvik has stepped up and taken action to help the community to not be hungry on the day by sponsoring the event. If you or your company would like to help out and expand the budget to allow for extra luxuries like soda or maybe even as much as some crisps, then please [...]
So, with MWC (Mobile World Congress) happening this week, and nothing orgnaised so far, I decided to reserve Aalto Venture Garage for Saturday March 17th. This is a week later than we normally hold MDC, but I wanted to give some of the folks I asked to help out chance to respond! Signup on the [...]
So, in case you did not realise, the organising team has shrunk to just me. There seems to be some interest in doing it this year, so lets see what can happen with short notice. Drop me a note (email, comment here or twitter) if you are interested in helping out (either via sponsorship or [...]

So, we got the confirmation and the event is ON! Bonnier publications is partnering with MDC to run a hackathon. The core ideas are; to have fun, learn new stuff, meet new people. Oh, and if you build something that changes the world, that’s a bonus There will be a “warm-up” event earlier in the [...]
So, a number of folks have talked to us about setting up a more “hacking” or “doing” type event, and this time of year seems appropriate. Doing something exactly 6 months after MDC would put it in August (still Holiday season), so we have slid it a bit later in the year. There are a [...]
Thanks everyone, hope you all enjoyed the day, and maybe see you next year. Of course we need to thank the speakers, who all managed to deliver their talks within the allocated time (makes it so much easier to keep things sort of on track!), and who all delivered interesting and different talks (or at [...]
Although the Aalto Venture Garage is only 10 minutes from Kamppi by bus and surrounded by offices of the biggest names in Finnish Industry, for many it seems it might as well be on the other side of the moon Those that did not brave the cold and the short bus ride, missed testing that [...]
