Facebook Graph API Hackathon on Sunday June 20th

 

On Monday 21st June, Facebook hosted an exclusive Facebook Developer Garage London featuring Mark Zuckerberg and other senior Facebook executives, with many of Facebook's major partners and media attending. Find out more here. 

The day before, Sunday 20th, we hosted a special Graph API-themed hackathon. Facebook executives and senior members of the Facebook development team will be stopping by, with hacks going through the night. Mike Vernal, a senior Facebook platform engineer, gave a talk on the graph API at the hackathon, and judged the hacks in the evening at 8pm along with Ethan Beard, Director of Facebook Platform, and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook CEO).

The top Graph API hacks created were given the opportunity to be showcased at this special Facebook Developer Garage on the 21st, which was very high profile opportunity (alongside Mark Zuckerberg!). All IP (intellectual property) created will remain your own!

Join the Facebook event here.

 

To join in, please add your name and relevant skills below, and set up a page for your hack ideas. Hack ideas will form the basis of teams with the author being the leader. If you don't have any ideas but like the sound of an existing one then now is the time to start contributing through commenting and offering your skills!

 

Note that this hackathon event was for developers, and possibly graphic designers, UX folks, etc. In other words, anyone that can help build some part of an application. Contributing to this wiki did not guarantee an invite and the final list of invitees wias decided by the Facebook Developers Garage London committee.

 

Judging guidelines for ideas

 

Guidelines for judging hackathon implementations

  • 20% for originality of idea/concept behind implementation (e.g. innovative, original, significant improvement on an already available app)
  • 15% for market potential of implementation (e.g. how big is the target segment, will advertisers pay for it, etc.)
  • 20% for customised aspects of the implementation (e.g. customised features per user)
  • 20% for usefulness of implementation (e.g. increases efficiency, solves a problem, etc)
  • 10% for intuitiveness and ease of use of implementation (e.g. ease of navigation)
  • 15% for potential for further development of implementation (e.g. addition of new levels, themes, etc.)

 

These are the Hackathon ideas that were proposed

Link to your hackathon ideas (create each idea as its own page, then link to it below). We asked people to include a summary of the idea, what skills they needed.

Pre-existing obligations mean that I will be unable to be there in person tomorrow - which why i've been so yappy beforehand - it's the only way I can take part. Learned a lot and thought a lot. Thanks. Enjoy, all, and good luck! (Perhaps mocha-java some other time.)

Well done winners! Do you think it would be at all possible to maybe receive the critique of ideas who didn't win so we can see where we fell down for next time. Obviously, the short answer is that the ideas weren't good enough which is fine, but if there were clear aspects that we didn't give sufficient attention, that would be of great help. Thanks again and well done to all! Thanks Mark and team for the constructive feedback!
