When 100 developers and 1 robot signed up for the February edition of Hack the Tower, across many technical communities in London, I could tell it was going to be a big event.

Heading out for a full day of coding @HackTheTower - excited about what people will create today #LSDC #LondonScala #LJCjug #LdnClj #robots

Developers arrived from different communities, including

• London Scala user group
• London Clojure community
• London Java Community
• London Salesforce developers
• London Software Craftsmanship>

@sandromancuso Yeah our little team is awesome, I believe we’re the last ones still coding :) @HackTheTower idea is great, I truly enjoy it!

Saturday 27th saw a great hackday thanks to Robert Rees, The Guardian and members of the London Scala user group. The ambitious challenge was to build an community website where events, conferences, blogs, code repos and community discussions were all available from one place.
