Love it, Hate it, Just Comment on it.

Martin, one of our creative whiz kids, has uploaded a HolaNeighbor! Home Page Concept to flickr with a great explanation of the layout elements.

Check it out!

After accosting all the StartupWeekenders that walked through the develop area, the Stragglers, Pirates and Squatters rose up to put Matthew and his merry band of developers in a room and beat them with large foam bats until snot ran out of their noses.

Now back in line, Matthew has begun his rendition of Little Bunny Fufu with Jesse and Martin in Creative. We know it worked because we picked up a minute in our launch time.

BizDev: With exception of financials the pitch is completed.

Marketing/PR: The second video is completed, and they showed it. PR releases were uploaded to Basecamp, and they asked the bloggers in the room to add various PR elements to their blogs. A writeboard was created in basecamp with PR materials.

Andrew Hyde passed out flowers to present to significant others.

UX: Future Feature Development

Design/Creative: Uploaded templates and page layouts to basecamp.

Dev: Adding backend functionality and tarting to implement design elements. Going to show something at 9pm.

HolaNeighbor’s doesn’t have users…we have persons.

“Pops”

January 16, 1946 - May 4, 2003

Husband, father, lacrosse coach, pilot, software developer, and self-described geek. Pop named Viget Labs and co-founded the company on December 27, 1999.

Why would an application development firm in Fall Church, VA offer up their space to StartupWeekend DC?Its not a hard question to answer once you see the picture above of Brian and Andy’s father. The people that make up StartupWeekend are husbands (or wives), fathers (or mothers), lacrosse coaches (have non-geek interests), pilots (leaders), and self-described geeks. Each person is individually strong and collectively fantastic. Each person here embodies the values and legacy of Pop. Its wonderful to have this event in an office space that exists because he believed in the value and power of startups and people.

How do I know this?

Just look to Brian and Andy. Dedicated and compassionate (Brian came to Boulder just to speak to Techstars), committed and talented, they have been here the entire weekend offering up their office space, advice, support and when the network went down, their technical expertise.

For those that have ever attended a StartupWeekend, please remember that the hosts of the event are as much a participant as the attendees.

For those of us at StartupWeekend DC, please thank our hosts and remember why Viget Labs rocks.

Ever since the dev team got the majority, rules have been implemented left and right — for the good of the community.

The latest proclimation from above is:

Passing through the dev team zone requires an immediate toll of $1, payable by cash, to the dev team member at the desk. If no dev team member is at the front desk, toll should be left on the plate at the front desk. The only exception to the toll is dev team members, as defined by current members of the dev team, per the dev team.

Questions will be entertained at this time on Monday.

Dev: working on the home page and a dashboard. The home page is more work than expected. By 8pm will begin integrating design.

BizDev: working on a PR push. Asked for long-term feature sets.  Looking for feedback on the product and our competitors.

PR/Marketing: Showed a intro video. I will post it shortly.

UX: uploaded feature creep on basecamp.

Squatters are on the decrease and production is on the rise.
