Civic Hackathon on Saturday

[Ian Bicking]

There will be a hackathon on Saturday, 9-10am (through the afternoon I think), located in downtown Minneapolis: http://pages.e-democracy.org/Hackathon

It's part of the Sunlight Foundation's nationwide hackathon: http://www.sunlightlabs.com/hackathon09/

It will be a place to hack on anything civic related, government, public participation, etc.  And maybe more importantly, to meet people in the area interested in such things, for future collaboration.  I'll be there, so there'll be some Python hacking going on to be sure.

It's also happening in parallel with a Future Of News conference: http://dbrauer.posterous.com/other-future-of-news-update-agenda-and-presen -- so you can check that out while you're there.
