PRESENTATIONS at 7pm

Collaborate on a Surrealist Rails App by Terian Koscik

Surrealism is an artistic practice in which mundane but dissimilar ideas are juxtaposed to create surprising or nonsensical ideas. This has interesting results when applied to startup culture. In this workshop, rather than finding a market niche which can be exploited for fame, revenue, or power, we will be using our skills as Rails developers to create products with no practical use whatsoever. We will use a variation of the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse to create collaborative Rails apps, then present them to one another in a mockery of venture capitalism.

After presentations we'll have more socializing time.

Thanks to CrowdCompass for providing the venue this month!
