Hack Night in CIS ― A Meeting of Java Script Hackers
CIS hosted a hack night in conjunction with the tech-event organizers HasGeek at its office on 24 September 2011. The event brought together local java script hackers on a common platform. Tom Dane and Kiran Jonnalagadda participated in the event.
The idea behind hosting the event was to have fun building cool stuff. The participants met in the afternoon to decide on projects and group into teams, and then Sudar Muthu gave an explanation of node.js and its usage for the hack. There were also some very cool free t-shirts. Much code was written and caffeine shared until the morning when the projects were uploaded online.
One project was a game allowing players to pass a ball between computers. The source code is available here on GitHub. Aditya Yadav also worked on the beautiful jsFoo website during the night. Our friends from HasGeek made a short video showing a snippet of the event:

If you feel sad missing an event like this, be excited because HasGeek is hosting Droidcon India next month.About HasgeekHasGeek is a developer-led initiative, and has been un-organising the unconference scene since 2010. HasGeek is an attempt to solve the problem of insipid conferences organised around buzzwords by uninterested, soulless corporate entities who pitch them as company training events or as places for companies to pick up hot developers.
