HackNEO: National Day of Civic Hacking (Day 2)

Details

Developers, designers, writers, community members, computer wizards, park lovers, and data geeks:

Northeast Ohio will be joining dozens of other local governments, including the White House, in the National Day of Civic Hacking (http://hackforchange.org), to promote the use of open data and open source technology in a two day event dubbed HackNEO.

HackNEO (http://hackneo.org) is being organized by the civic technology volunteer “brigade” Code for Summit County (http://codeforsummitcounty.org). The grassroots organization is hosting HackNEO with sponsorship from the County of Summit, along with technology publisher O’Reilly Media and tech firm CartoDB. The event is a call to action for anyone in Northeast Ohio who wants to make an impact: anyone can get involved, irrespective of professional experience.

Join us for this free event and help us use open data to work on one of our three Data Challenges (http://hackneo.org/challenges), from mapping our regional parks system, to creating a new and innovative data visualization using national Census data, or even contributing local knowledge to SummitWiki, a Wikipedia-style website editable by anyone about places in Summit County.

Breakfast and lunch is provided on both days. All participants receive an event tshirt, $100 Amazon Web Services credit, and other items to say "Thank you" for your commitment

Please register (http://hackneo.org) soon that we have an accurate lunch, tshirt, and door prize count!

Be sure to follow @hack4NEO (http://twitter.com/hack4NEO) on Twitter for more updates on sponsorships, door prizes, data challenges and more!
