Hack Your Way to Berlin

Berlin is playing host to the oh-so-sold-out JSConf.eu conference happening October 1-2. Some members of the SoundCloud engineering crew well be on-site and we thought it would be great if you could come too.

We have an extra ticket for the JSConf.eu conference that we are going to raffle away in a hack competition. The rules of engagement are simple: use this podcast on the periodic table from Roman Mars and build a page that presents it in an awesome way. Be it with a very creative playback method, aggregating content around the sound or building the nicest design we’ve ever seen. The only constraints are that you use JavaScript and that the page is served from GitHub Pages. We want to see the most interesting and incredible page that you can build to play this track.

The page with the most creativity and “pop” will win the JSConf.eu ticket. We will get you from where you are in Europe to Berlin for the conference and find a nice place for you to sleep.

Send your entry to eliot@soundcloud.com by 23:59:59 Central European Time on September 18.
