We have ten paid places for a hack day working with the Technology Strategy Board API, including digital media content from TV to music to images.

The Technology Strategy Board have built themselves a testbed, and would like to invest in some developer time (over a series of paid hack days, this being the first) to seed that test bed with some tempting apps. Emma Mulqueeny has a couple of (quite big) documents, one about the TSB and one about the API – this will be shared once we have registered you for the event. But here is some shiz about the TSB and the testbed:

The TSB is:

• A National body set up by government
• Sponsored by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
• Plus lots of other things you can read about elsewhere

The digital testbed is…

'…an initiative designed to foster greater innovation in the digital economy via a purpose built environment for the creation and testing of new digital business models and offerings'
