Cardiff Design Festival
Hoffi have just completed the first stages of the Cardiff Design Festival website, launching it with some basic features ready for showcase/awards submissions in July. The website was developed over a period of two weeks, however this was working an hour here and there on the configuration and theme of the website. Links using the Flickr APi allow for content from the festival's flickr group to be pulled in and create interesting backdrops to the website and using the twitter module allows the sites users to provide a simple way to tweet new content.

What's next
We're hoping to introduce new features as the website develops and the user base grows, making a more collaborative online community for the design community throughout Wales. Hopefully the site will receive suggestions from the design community and carry the festival throughout the year and not just during the month of October when the festival takes place.

Hey thanks for the vote of confidence, it wasn't that difficult just using the flickr API along with the http://phpflickr.com library. Here's the snippet:
<?
require_once("/home/public_html/phpFlickr/phpFlickr.php");
$f = new phpFlickr("INSERTYOURKEY");
$photos = $f->photos_search(array("group_id"=>"1115868@N24", "extras"=>"original_format", "per_page"=>"1", "page"=> (rand()%16),"content_type"=>"1","media"=>"photos"));
foreach ($photos['photo'] as $photo) {
$owner = $f->people_getInfo($photo['owner']);
}
?>
<body style="background:url(<?php echo $f->buildPhotoURL($photo, "original") ?>) 50% 0%; ">
<?php
echo "Background photography <a href='http://www.flickr.com/people/" . $photo['owner'] . "/'>";
echo $owner['username'];
echo "</a><br>";
?>
</body>
