This coming Saturday (16th June) will be Yahoo! Hack Day here in London, and a few members of my buddy's company (the Nestoria team) will be on hand. But rather than just attending, they though it might be a bit of fun if they tried to subvert the event and turn it into their own hack contest. As such, they are delighted to present 'The quasi-official Nestoria Hack contest' to be held at Yahoo! Hack Day.

One important note, in the true hacker spirit this contest is totally unsanctioned by Yahoo! and the BBC (the two gracious hosts at Hack Day). The prize is nevertheless very real and there for the taking.

The rules: Simple. Whoever creates the best (as judged by the engineering team of Nestoria) mashup at Yahoo! Hack Day that uses the Nestoria API wins the prize.The prize: a brand new Garmin eTrex Vista Cx GPS device.
