CeBIT: Geek Olympics
13 May 2009
Listen and download: MP3
FullCodePress is one of the more interesting things I found in the exhibition space at CeBIT Australia 2009. The idea is simple: two teams of web developers, one from New Zealand, the other from Australia, square off in a 24 hour battle to build a complete website for a not-for-profit organisation. I caught up with some members of the Australian team a couple of hours in, and also Roger Hudson who is one of the organisers of FullCodePress. Follow the MP3 link at the top of this story to listen.
The winning website will be announced at 11:30 today, Wednesday 13th of May.
CeBIT: Innovate now
12 May 2009
I’ve spent the morning at CeBIT Australia 2009, which kicked off today in Sydney with a keynote address from Stephen Conroy, Australia’s Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. The Minister opened the trade fair by saying that technology and innovation would play a substantial part in the recovery from the current recession.

I’ll be in Sydney this week to cover the CeBIT Australia 2009 conference and exhibition. It’s the largest business technology event of its kind in the Asia Pacific and I’ll be blogging from the exhibition all week, as well as posting to twitter (you can follow me @tech_stream). I’ll also be trialling the Audio-boo service as well, which will allow me to file audio reports live to the web. Exciting stuff!
