Location Day

For you who wasn't at the hackathon or didn't watch the grand finale, here's for you.

The people at Userbin has been kind enough to build a fantastic web based, responsive voting app for the hackathon. It's basically vote.locationday.io where you can see and vote for the best hacks. The voting app itself was built during the hackathon and you can vote on that too. 

There was local voting at the end of the hackathon but now let's spread it to your people, and make them vote for your team. Let's run the voting for another 24 hours, counting down from now! Here's a playlist of all the demos. Go check 'em out. Then VOTE

Team AOE (pronounced like an å in Skåne dialect)

Vote for events nearby. The more votes the event gets, the bigger the circle on a map. Could be based on Facebook Events e.g. Location Day Hackathon version as Android app only.

Hellberg

Like the TV program 'På Spåret'. You enter a departure place and a destination and grab the break, and guess the location. Based on Google Street View.

Labyrint

Web based 'Find My Friends' based on latest location tagged tweet or Instagram photo. Location Day Hackathon version is based on the twitter list Location Day, the attendees. 

Locadvice 

Local advice. Advice from locals basically, in all it's simple beauty.

PingPal

API + Hosted customer solution for Taxi companies around the world to run as their ordering service. Web based, mobile and based on the PingPal API. 

Voting Site

Jan Erik, the man behind both Polar Rose and now Mapillary, interviewed by the local newspaper Sydsvenskan about his previous startup and the current one.

It’s all in Swedish but Google Translate might help out, and give you a laugh too.

This is how we do lunch tomorrow gals!

We have a theme song for #LocationDay. It was written already back in May 1983 by the Police.

Every breath you take

Every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

I'll be watching you

What if you have, or get an idea to an app, site or service now or during Location Day. We all have ideas, but they're worth nothing until they are transformed into actual products, services or whatever it might be.

Fredrik Davidsson : Teknograd

If there’s someone in Sweden who knows location data APIs it’s Fredrik. He’s hacking on the APIs of Instagram, Twitter, Foursquare and Facebook among more.

Craig Taverner is an open source software developer, technology enthusiast and entrepreneur working on many kinds of projects, especially those involving Ruby, GIS and Neo4j.

Accept signups within minutes with Userbin

The Location Day 24h Hackathon will be a fast paced race against the clock: don't waste your precious time implementing things that are not core to your idea.

Userbin is a drop-in authentication solution for you web application. It relieves you from things like writing pesky form validations, sending confirmation or password reset emails and connecting social identity providers. All without losing control over your own user model.

By letting Userbin handle the authentication part of your application, you’ll also get a user management dashboard out of the box, including analytics, email templates and basic actions for all your users.

Lots of people have asked when the event start and what the programme is. Well, since I've grown up and nowadays work 9 to 5 like everybody else, that's the time the conference is run.

But it doesn't stop at 5'o'clock of course. After a day of inspiration, ignition and knowledge boosting we turn the place into a maker space to build and hack on location apps for 24 hours.

And on a serious note: doors open at 08.30, December 6 and 08.45 yours truly welcomes you all. (be early for a good spot, it will be pretty crowded). The doors closes sometime Saturday night after the 24h Hackathon is over and the winner's been announced. What happens between 9 and 5 is yet to be announced but it will be fun times ;)

:: Important Times Friday, December 6 :: Doors open: 08.30 Welcome : 08.45 First Track: 09.00

The location revolution will not only be televised but streamed. Thanks to our fabulous live streaming film crew and awesome sponsors FKDV we'll be able to live stream Location Day. It's one of the best live-streaming film crews in the world so fear not, you can follow the event all the way to your winter crib in Bali.
