We are looking for a few good developers, programmers, and coders for next week! Please see our request below, thanks! -Robin Murphy
Developers, Programmers, Coders- we want YOU!
The SXSW Eco Hackathon is looking for individuals or teams that want to change the way we think about energy by hacking a new tool in 24 hours. Co-sponsored by the Department of Energy we are looking for developers, programmers, coders and geeks of all kind to create a usable app (or 2) using the data provided by the DOE. The final product will allow all users to make smarter energy decisions in their everyday life. The parameters and the design will be up to you, and it should be a lot of fun.
Every hacker will receive a complimentary registration to SXSW Eco, and the most popular application will be promoted by the Department of Energy across the web.
This is a great chance to meet other sustainability minded hackers, build a portfolio, team-build next to other industry leaders and have a fun time! There will be food and drinks along with experts in energy and technology to guide the way. Interested? Sign up here!
About the Hackathon
The SXSW Eco Hackathon provides a unique opportunity to create a useful energy tool from public data released to SXSW Eco from the U.S. Department of Energy. As a bonus, the most popular energy tool created will be promoted by the Department of Energy through various forms of media. Participants in the Hackathon will receive a complimentary SXSW Eco registration as our thanks for working to create new and usable tools for smarter energy choices.

In just 24 hours teams of hackers will work to use public and open data to make new tools to be shared with the general public. With the help the U.S. Department of Energy's, Energy Data Initiative there are now vast and valuable datasets open to the public, which cover all parts of life from appliances and cars to electricity rates and CO2 emissions. However, people, businesses, non-profits and government all need new tools to use those data for more effective energy choices. That's where you come in, with the help of Cleanweb Worldwide's Hackathon expertise, you and your team will work together to create a new tool every registrant at SXSW Eco can use. For more information check out our Hackathon FAQ or email hack...@sxsweco.com to sign up.
We need your brains, stamina and expertise to make this a success, so please contact us with any questions, suggestions or to sign up and we hope to see you at the SXSW ECO/DOE Hackathon!
Best,
Rachael Mardegian
