I’ll have to write more later, as right now I’m fried, but we’ve just had a great weekend here at Parsons the New School for Design hosting the NYC RHoK 2.0 event. The full details are on the wiki but there were a hundred or so people hacking on some amazing projects, and a bunch of photos on the flickr account.
The featured, prize winning, hacks were
- Task me up: where Nico and team implemented a really elegant solution to the Task Turking challenge I posted at RHoK 1.0.
- Incident Commander for Android project which provides volunteer first responders with a basic incident command system.
My favourite moments on the weekend? It would be hard to go past the launch co-hosted by UN Global Pulse, where the UN Secretary General spoke, along with Joel Towers the Dean of Parsons the New School for Design, NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver and Alfred Spector, Google’s VP for Research.
Ban Ki Moon RHoK's it with Parsons Dean Joel Towers and NASA's Lori Garver.

Prem from Google getting all focussed
