SteemFest² Updates - New Names Announced - Spotlight: SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon announced - register now!

in steemfest •  7 years ago 

Another busy week. I managed to do a little kitesurf after my crazy coastal trip of 3 weeks ago. Wind was crazy stormy but nice to have a couple of hours away from it all and focus on one thing: Surviving the wind & water, while having fun doing so :) Back to that other thing now.... SteemFest!

TLDR;

View from LX Factory - SteemFest hackathon location

New names talking / performing at SteemFest² announced:

  • @voronoi (US): Curious urbanist. Co-Founder of Sndbox
  • @quinneaker (US): Visionary & Founder of the Garden Of Eden EcoVillage
  • @the-alien (BR): (Ghost)Writer, entrepreneur, world traveler, blockchain and open-source enthusiast
  • @timsaid (DE): Crypto Challenge, scientist, photographer and free runner

Week updates

Cut the location video tour I did last week, will publish it next week. Wrote a press release in draft, discussed with Ned and some others. Shared with some outlets, will push more next week. Prepaid venues partly in order to reserve them. Also I got pretty hyped up by this idea coined by @originate to see about interest to do a 'SteemRally' - Gumball 3000 inspired roadtrippin through Portugal.

Had an IRL meetup with @peerplays about the sponsoring for the SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon, and they are going to! Also Decent and Bitshares are joining us for the hackathon (and Steemit obviously :D) Worked on the dedicated site for the hackathon and published it (read below about that).




24h session - 1 November - Cowork Lisboa @ LXFactory

Developer, designer, creator, hacker? Come 1 day early to Lisbon for developer pre-drinks and kick off the conference with the SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon. On Wednesday 1 November 9AM sharp the SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon kicks off in Cowork Lisboa at LXFactory Lisboa.

As launching event of the SteemFest Conference we challenge you to make a proof of concept, working(!) app on (any) blockchain. Be smart and check out the prize-sponsoring blockchains (Steem, Bitshares and Decent) and tune your apps for those chains and get a change to win those crypto monetary prizes!

Don't forget to register on https://steemfest.devpost.com!

Super honored to be contributing to the fun and success of SteemFest2 while furthering the cause of Steemit!

The SteemFest is awesome, @roelandp! Thanks for sharing those updates

Haaaa... Alcantara... so many runs to catch the boat...

Hey @roelandp, where did you did kite? Trafaria? or over the Costa da Caparica places?...

I'm from Amsterdam, the whole dutch coast :)

Best of luck for Steemfest 3. I am not able to make it this year as I just returned from my Trans- Mongolia Adventure. However next year i will go, no matter what.

lucky you are, to take part to this event...

Hey @roelandp, I'm interested in the hackathon, but I live in the States and cannot make it to SteemFest. Is there a way to participate remotely>

idea is to have an on-site hackathon so ideas flow within ad hoc team, being there is ofcourse the nicest. I would have to see about remote participation especially with presentations / demos.

In any case: Please register on the hackathon page and you get updates about it https://steemfest.devpost.com and maybe you can join in either remotely on a team attending the hackathon or see how it works out... If you register you can apply for 'looking for team mates'

Sounds good, will do.

So excited for Steemfest 2!😍😍

Anyone interested in forming a team for NCR (India)? I think it will help us if some expert guide us(about steemit) face to face?

Definitely It will be a great fest :) Have fun Steem Family ;)

Hi @roelandp.. I'm new Here, I need a push , thank you for up vote this post

Its super.

Wow awesome!!! we need to organsize a Steemfest in Germany!!!

A Steem meetup in Germany would be great! I think many would like to come as they can't make it to the SteemFest this time

You can always organise a Steem meetup. SteemFest will now after 2 editions in Europe move to another continent, so this is your change to still join in. Find a cheap flight and come join the weather in Lisbon!

very cool, wow, Nov. One isn't even that faraway now. the SF2 site looks very slick!

This Steemfest will be a success, for sure!
