Introducing Battle Hack

Annoying, isn't it? Google has offices in multiple southern hemispheric cities -- still no "Summer of Code" for half of the planet.

I should however single out AWS. Amazon have two sales engineers here in Perth.

Perth, of all places! Kudos, Amazon.

How far the legendary galactic center of .sigs must have fallen, if even its own residents disparage it so!

I'd love to do Perth. Good tech scene there?

Small but enthusiastic. We have a sprinkling of tech service / consulting firms and startups, two VCs and some meetup groups, but that's about it.

Realistically, any such contest held in the Southern hemisphere would be held in Sydney, maybe Auckland or Wellington and maybe, maybe, Cape Town.

Again would love to do it. Will keep it in mind for next year. I mainly was wondering re Perth as I have family there :)

Earth's northern hemisphere contains most of the planet's land, and roughly 90% of its human population.

Oh, good point. There's only twice as many of us as there are Americans.

You can't blame your location on the planet on the Americans.
