Summary

In March 2011, an event called "The League of Extraordinary Hackers" was held at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, featuring a mix of developer-focused activities and entertainment. The event kicked off on March 13 with a series of rapid-fire API briefings from 1pm to 6pm, showcasing Google's latest developer offerings like Android, Chrome, and Google Maps, followed by office hours with speakers in the Speakeasy's rooftop lounge. Concurrently, Google TV and YouTube Leanback were demonstrated in the Leanback Lounge, providing a chill space with free WiFi. At 7pm, the SuperHappyDevHouse community joined for a night of hacking, lightning talks, and fun activities such as a LEGO MINDSTORMS sumobot competition, steampunk-themed events, and Google TV and Xbox 360 Kinect entertainment, complemented by music and themed cocktails. Sponsored by notable companies, including Google and The LEGO Group, the event offered an engaging alternative to the typical SXSW party scene, and attendees were encouraged to RSVP and follow updates via social media and hashtags.
