I’d like you to go check out The Guelph Seven<\/a>. From March 5-11th, 7 students will spend 7 days writing 7 apps, in Guelph, Ontario<\/a>. We’ll compete on friendly terms with our Waterloo counterpart, 7^3. It’s going to be really fantastic.<\/p>\n

How did this happen?<\/h2>\n

Three months ago, I heard about a cool application called QuickCite<\/a>. My friend Paul pulled it up on his laptop while browsing HackerNews<\/a>, and we talked about it being a cool idea. We thought the idea to have 7 Students spend 7 Days writing 7 Apps together – and publicize the heck out of it – was an even cooler idea. They called themselves 7^3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the new year, we’d talked to some of the 7^3 students (who turned out to be friends of ours!) and decided to go on our own adventure. Planning commenced – we had many short meetings, email threads, and gtalk conversations – and we’re still at it! But enough information is solid that we’re certain this will happen, and we’re excited as heck.<\/p>\n

We’ll be working round the clock from March 5th to March 11th, taking the week away from school and all other responsibilities (at least, every one we’re able to), and producing a new application each day. ThreeFortyNine<\/a> has amazingly sponsored us by providing us with workspace, and all that’s left now is to find sponsorship for food and to hone our skills.<\/p>\n

We’ve got a website<\/a>. We’ve got twitter<\/a>. We’ve got an email address<\/a>, and ideas, and energy, and we’re going to make amazing stuff and have a great time doing it. Soon there will be a short bio detailing the epic quests of each of member of the team, and not long after, descriptions of our daily struggles and beautiful results.<\/p>\n

Catch you on the flipside – don’t miss us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
