Timeline of Tom Harrison's Dev House Experience

SHDH22 - Host

SHDH21 - SF

SHDH20 - Rainbow

SHDH19 - A huge success, I dont really now what to say. We had a huge turnout and we tried a few new things. First we held our lightning talks out in the front yard because there was no other good space to hold them due to our attendence record. This event was hosting in Los Gatos and we were very organized. From a welcome sign-in desk at the front with nametags and greeters to an error free network, this was our best event to date.

SHDH18 - Lots of people showed up and we had to overflow into the back yard. This event was more social than usual because there was less space to sit down and hack due to our outstanding attendance record of ~150 total attendees. On the left I am fixing the internets.

SHDH17 - Segway in the kitchen, NSFW Margaritas and reporter from SJ Mercury News. The segway was tons of fun and the article that was written has helped out event's attendance in a great way.

SHDH16 - Someone brought an OLPC to let others hack on it. It was kinda cool, slow at times but it was a fully functional pc running linux. We also had our business cards, and had great attendance due to Startup School.

SHDH13

SHDH12 I helped setup the event including a trip to costco with David Matt Brian and Adam to purchase supplies and more Chairs for the event.

SHDH 0xB

Hosted Super Happy Dev House 0xB at my parents house in Los Gatos. Prepared for the event several days before hand by moving furniture, collecting chairs, setting up Access Points, and purchasing supplies for the event. The night before I setup the SHDH 0xB Sign in the front yard to test it out as well as fixed and setup outdoor lighting for the back patio and front yard.

DHX

Setup of multiple wireless access points and squid proxy for use at France Telecom's facility. Setup a captive portal using NoCatSplash to redirect people to this wiki when they arrive, but had to remove it last minute due to complications with the network.

SHDH IX

We got this event setup very quickly. I showed up much later than usual with the other guys and we had david's house setup and ready to go in about an hour. We decided to change things up this time and change the table layouts, and set ourselves up in the kitchen. This time Simpli donated all of the drinks for staying up all night annd we didnt run out! As for the internet setup at this event, we just plugged directly into and used David's main airport as the router. I didnt really change anything for this event, and in the middle we had a few internet connectivity issues.

SHDH VIII

For this event I again helped with the setup and for the first time, I stayed to help for the cleanup as well. key things of importance for me at this event were socializing, and talking with Doug Englbart and Bill Daul.

SHDH VII

I helped Erica try to get windows XP 64 working on her new box with an onboard mirroring raid. This was really a pain in the ass but I think I learned a few good things by the end of the night. I also setup the network. David was working on playing with the serial interface in cars, hence the picture of me in my car in the garage. It was fun trying to find a system with a serial port. David actually ended up moving his desktop into the garage.

SHDH VI

Filmed all the presentations from this one. In my opinion they were not as good as the previous SHDH thus they were painful to edit and I never finished. I also provided the PA for the presentations. I think the use of the PA at this thing was a huge success, but at the same time, it took up way too much of my time and I didnt really get to meet anyone. I like the Dev Houses without any presentations better I think. We'll see how the next one goes.

SHDH V

Helped with Setup and was in charge of the network. Edited the videos of the presentations. (I still need to get those all online somewhere). As for the picture here, Im in there, somewhere, barely. Starting at this Dev House I really feel like part of the SHDH Crew.
