Hi everyone.
For those who don't get the Webstock newsletter, they've put out a
call for a couple of ways the IT community can help with the
earthquake. Details below.
- Kat
Earthquake web response hackathon [Everywhere]
Devs and UI folk wanted to improve the systems that are tracking 800+
locations for tens of thousands of people at eq.org.nz.
Working space available in Wellington CBD 11am-7pm Sat (possibly again
on Sun depending on momentum), with brunch at 10am to meet your fellow
hackers. Follow and join in remotely at #eqnz-dev on
irc.freenode.net.

Donate a laptop [Everywhere]
To support affected IT businesses in Christchurch, John Ferguson of
NZTE is after 1000 laptops. They have collected 400 so far.
If you have a working laptop under three years of age that you can
