In a couple weeks, Yahoo will be sponsoring it's third U.S. Open Hack Day. If you happen to find yourself in New York City around Times Square on October 9th or 10th, you should drop in to Yahoo's Open Hack 2009. It is being billed as "two days of learning, networking, coding, and fun." It’s all free and you’re invited! You will be among developers from around the world. It's being held at the Hudson Theater and Millennium Broadway Hotel in Times Square.

What is Open Hack Day? Yahoo says, "It’s what happens when clever web developers, a wireless connection, a host of web services, and massive quantities of caffeine, pizza and donuts come together for an all-night code-a-thon. After 24 hours, creative coders show off their mashup wares and clever apps, American Idol-style, before a panel of distinguished judges, who bestow awards, praise, and lots of geek cred."

The weekend starts with keynote speaker and internet guru, Clay Shirky. There will be ongoing tech talks, panels, workshops, and there will even be a "geek open mic." It's anyone's guess who will take home the prize, but it promises to be another great event. So, if you have the time, drop in and see what all the excitements about.
