I have been thinking it's getting to be time to start the planning process for the 2014 Hack for Western Mass event.  The national event date hasn't been announced yet.  Hopefully that will be decided soon, but given the large task of organization that needs to occur, it seems best to begin sooner rather than later.

Are you interested in helping to make it happen this year?  I'm imagining meeting in February to lay out a plan and get things rolling.  I can offer a meeting space at Healthlens at 378 Pleasant St in Northampton on Thursday, February 20th from 6-8.  Other times and dates could be possible as well; we could have a doodle poll or something.  Just wanted to put something out there to start the discussion.

Best,
Andrew

I can meet on Thursday the 20th from 6-8.

Hard to believe it's that time of year again--thanks, Andrew (for getting things started and for the offer of space)!

I'm available on 2/20 from 6-8.

That’s five yes’s for Thursday, February 20th from 6-8 at Healthlens, 378 Pleasant St in Northampton.

I think we have a quorum and should lock that in as the official kick off meeting for Hack for Western Mass 2014.

If folks can’t make the 20th there will be lots of ways to be involved and we can send out a doodle poll for the following meeting.

Any objections?

Randall

Wish I could be there! Ping me if you need any graphic updates, and let me know when there's a date and maybe I'll show up. :)

Sending love from San Francisco! (Right now I'm in the middle of civic technology bootcamp at Code for America and it's intense and awesome.)

I've put it in my calendar. I have a Faculty Senate meeting that may make me late, but I'll try to get there.

Will be great to see everyone on 2/20.

Was in DC this week and got some intel that NDoCH will again be the weekend after Memorial Day: May 31 - June 1 (with acknowledgement that local organizers may choose a surrounding weekend if that's better for their respective communities).

Hi Folks,

 

I’m also planning on being there. I heard about the Hack for Western Mass after the fact last year and am interested in being involved.

We are getting started with planning for the next hackathon tonight.  We are meeting at Healthlens at 378 Pleasant St in Northampton from 6-8. Enter on the left side of the building and come upstairs to the office on the second floor.  Looking forward to seeing many of you tonight!

Andrew
