Christian Heilmann on stage at Open Hack Day

After writing my first blog post for the Yahoo Developer Network blog it’s time to also upgrade this one here. There are 14 hours left at the Open Hack Day in Bangalore for the hackers to come up with something to woo the others and the Jury. So far I’ve been asked a lot about mail authentication APIs and if you can have a transparent XUL Canvas overlay an iframe to be able to paint on a third party web site. I am a bit scared about what people will hack here.

My presentation seems to have been well received and as always, here are the slides called Yahoo for You on Slideshare

I’ve also taken and uploaded a lot of photos and will go on doing so until I go back to the UK next Thursday.
