A number of l3ib.org members have agreed to spend every day of the next month haxing on something interesting and blagging about it: HAXPACT.  Today is the first day of haxpact, and those of you subscribed to Planet l3ib should see some activity by midnight tonight.  The goal of haxpact is to generate interest and momentum on projects that most of us are too lazy to keep up with.

First off, credit where credit is due, haxpact is copying the idea of Gabor Papp and friends from the livecoding world.

Second, rules for participants:

• Every day, from 8 Mar to 7 Apr, you must create something and blag about it
• You may use previously unpublished hax from before this month, as long as you blag about it
• Anything considered creation counts: code, web pages, graphics, visualization, music
• Stuck?  Learn something new like processing, fluxus, CFDG: all visual things with quick learning curves

I plan on making a progress report similar to django advent or RPI’s RCOS Dashboard (my alma mater!).

Participating l3ibs include myself, andrewy, Fitzsimmons, and jvd. If anyone unaffiliated with l3ib.org wishes to participate, send me an email and I’ll add you to the accumulator. You should drop by #l3ib on freenode too.

Happy haxing!
