Happy Hackers on PICNIC 08

The experience of the brand new RFID installations

Hackers Camp Day 7.
In the 5 days preceding PICNIC, an annual crossmedia conference in Amsterdam, Mediamatic organized the Social RFID Hackerscamp. A group of excellent coders, designers and physical computeers used recent technologies and interaction design to realize a bunch of engaging interactive installations, wearables and spaces.

Fine-tuned and bug free

On this second day of PICNIC all the projects were as fine-tuned and bug free as possible. Visitors were invited to experience all projects themselves during this somewhat more festive and less official day (compared to the previous day). Accompanied with music, visitors kept bringing more and more friends along to the Friend-Drink-Station and thus making it a busy day!

At 18.00 hrs team leader Klaas Kuitenbrouwer gave a presentation and afterwards the guests were given a tour around all the brand new installations. Those present could play with the IkTag they got at the entrance in the hub.

Thursday, not Wednesday

The invitation email sent Tuesday Sept 16th mentioned:

"On Wednesday 25 September at 18.00 "

but I guess that should be Thursday 25 September?

definitely THURSDAY 25th

Yes, this should indeed have been Thursday the 25th! Apologies and let's meet at the Friend Drink Station, one of the existing RFID installations, and I'll get you a drink.

Picnic accounts not visible in the participants list?

Hi,

Still another question :-S

Is it possible Picnic-account (or remote accounts in general) do not show in the participants list?
As you can see in this screenshot www.flickr.com/photos/pascal/2882906556/ I registered for the event (I think I did this the same day I posted the previous comment). However, I registered with my remote Picnic account to test the new interoperability features.

My profile doesn't show up in the list however:
www.mediamatic.net/search?paglen=200&q_object=51140%3A%3Aparticipant
and I guess some more (also remote?) profiles are missing: this page mentions 32 participants whereas I can only find 25 on the participants list.

Just a guess...

Fixed

We fixed the problem. This list was using the wrong query, now it takes the right one.
