Show your skills!

Are you a developer? Are you looking for an opportunity to learn, develop and meet new people?

Nokia is inviting developers from Croatia and Slovenia to a unique two-day hackathon, taking place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on November 26 and 27 this year. The event will focus on development for the MeeGo platform – being one of the most open platforms on the market today and running on one of the world’s most advanced phones – the Nokia N9, enabling you to test your development skills, learn from the world’s leading MeeGo, Qt development experts and meet new like-minded people from two countries on a hacking marathon and a drink or two during dinner afterwards.

Who will be there?

We’ve acquired an all-star team of speakers who will also help you with development and share their knowledge with you:

  • Nejc Pintar, Developer at 3fs
  • Matevž Klanjšek,
    Chief Product Officer at Celtra
  • Karl Pletschko,
    Developer Marketing Manager at Nokia
  • Attila Csipa,
    Senior Technology Expert at Nokia
  • Mahbubur Rahman,
    Developer Experience at Nokia

How to attend?

Send an email to apply@show-your-skills.com and tell us, why we should select you or your team to join us for the weekend. Applications are open until November 22, 2011. In the email you should give us:

  • Your name (and the names of the rest of participants, if you’re a team)
  • Your contact info (GSM number is required, links to Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. profiles are preferable)
  • A short description of your skill level: if you have an app or a similar product to show us, send us links
  • A short description of what do you plan to develop on the event: Port your existing app to Meego? Try out some outlandish ideas for a future NFC app? Hack the Bluetooth module in the N9 to control your fridge? As long as the idea is not too outlandish, we want to hear it!

Do you need to know more?

Send us an email to info@show-your-skills.com and we’ll give you a prompt and detailed answer to any questions you might have.
