Yahoo! BOSS Hack Day in Israel

Next Thursday, Yahoo is organizing a Hack Day in Israel. This is the first international hack day, and is actually the first stop in an international BOSS world tour. Following Tel-Aviv, Yahoo will be doing a similar event in San Paulo, Paris, and London.

All that's great, but why am I blogging about this?

Gemini, together with Carmel Ventures, is the official sponsor of the Israeli Hack day. Eran Palmon (from Yahoo) asked us to help out in organizing this, and I thought it is a great opportunity. If you read this blog, you know that I am a big believer in the Israeli Internet scene. However, we are always in disadvantage in the market due to our poor geographical location (this is not a political comment). To overcome that, Gemini is always trying to create bridges between Tel-Aviv and Silicon Valley. Sometimes it's about bringing Israel to the valley (Israel Web Tour) and sometimes it's bringing Silicon Valley to Israel (Yahoo! Hack Day). Beyond that, this is the first official Yahoo! Event in Israel, and we are proud to take part in that.

So, what's this day all about? Yahoo will be showing developers how to create unique search applications based on their search engine. You can read more here. If you feel it's relevant (it's for developers), you can sign up on Upcoming.org.
