Hi Folks!

Just wanted to ping you all about a research note I posted on Public Lab about the recent impromptu Open Water Hackathon that Andy organized this past Monday at Amherst College. Here's the writeup:

Thanks to everyone who participated -- it was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot. Let's keep in touch about setting up another 'open water' event soon!

Cheers,

Don

P.s. For those interested in getting a basic MongoDB + Node.js + Express stack up and running, I finally found a very nice, step-by-step tutorial, here:

Thanks for sharing this, Don. I especially love the use of d3 for the visualizations.
