What is “Geeks on Train”?

Geek on Train is a hackathon event where developers, designers, and business planners gather in teams to make a product based on WordPress and build it on the trip to Jogjakarta, a day before WordCamp Indonesia 2013.

The basic idea is to make a collaborative product, starting from scratch, in a short time. The product can be anything, as long as it is WordPress related — and not just a blog.

The product will be presented on public expose session at the 2nd day of WordCamp Indonesia 2013, and a panel of judges will select a winner.

Here’s how:

First option

  • If you haven’t done so, register yourself to attend WordCamp Indonesia 2013.
  • Create a team of max. 4 people — these can already be your friends, or start a conversation with people you might be interested to work with.
  • Register the names by e-mail to alcatrazia@gmail.com, with a copy to wordcampid@gmail.com
  • Book your train tickets together, leaving from either Jakarta, Surabaya or Bandung on October 17
  • Get on the train and start working on your project!

TIPS: If you’ve already booked your train ticket, comment on this page to find other participants who might be on the same train — and register as a team!
