Last Friday we had the first Hacking Firefox OS day in Distrito C, in Telefónica Headquarters in Madrid. This was mainly a clone of the idea developed by The Lab (from O2) in London.
We started by explaining why Firefox OS (and the Open Web Device) is a game changer and why it matters for Telefónica. Also, we shown what is the underliying structure and how apps are easy developed for this platform.
But the fun part began, obviously, with the developing and hack of an app:
- We created a small app that sends SMS and places calls. Every team was able to do that in less than 10 minutes, including searching for info regarding the API, and they were surprised by how easy is to develop core functionalities of a phone in Firefox OS.
- We also had a brainstorming where we wrote down a list of applications that could be awesome to have. People from UX, Talentum and dev teams gave their ideas to develop in the following weeks.
We will be doing the development in the following weeks and post the results and findings here.
Hack fun!
