Another follow up today, this time on the Hack Day as reported on Tuesday. Daniel from the Windows Live Messenger blog has posted about it:
This was my first Hack Day event. I didn’t hack Messenger - it would have been unfair for the rest of the hackers ;). First I worked with two other Messenger devs (Justin and Ravi) on a search macro to search the top Messenger forums. Next I moved on to hack the new Expo API which was totally new to me. I enjoyed eating a lot of pizza, setting up the environment, reading and trying samples, but I didn’t come up with anything worth to present. Maybe next time
At the end of the event, judges picked the best hacks and awarded prizes, the best of which was an XBox 360 premium with accessories. To my surprise our Messenger Forums Search Macro won second place and a remote controlled truck.
wonder if anything new from that will make it to an official feature in WLM. too bad they didnt give a full list of ideas they did
