Hacks/Hackers Berlin

Hacks Hackers Berlin #15

Mar 20, 2014 · 7:00 PM
Haus der Demokratie und Menschenrechte Berlin

Spring is here and we've got a host of fresh inspiration lined up for our next Hacks/Hackers.

Join us on 20th March for an evening on the intersection between journalism and technology.

Our Speakers:

Christina Elmer - One of Spiegel Online's foremost datajournalists, gives us a deeper insight into the cogs in the workings at SpOn. Fresh back from NICAR (the National Institute of Computer Assisted Reporting's conference), she'll also give us a potted summary of some highlights for any of us who sadly couldn't make it.

The team behind Hostwriter.org give us some insights about how you can get involved with the Hostwriter network. Hostwriter provides a combination of research-assistance and "couchsurfing" for journalists worldwide: find a story - find a colleague - find a bed!

We're still searching for more speakers and lightning slots, so please get in touch if you know any great candidates to speak (drop us a line in the comments).

See y'all on Thursday!

Got myself a nasty cold, so I won't make it. Would have loved to be there.

Hi Lucy,
I'd be happy to contribute a short talk about the digital science magazine "Substanz" that our startup is launching (www.substanzmagazin.de). Interested?
Kind regards,
Georg

  Hi Georg, we'll have a mini lightning pitches session between the two main talks - you're welcome to have the floor for 2-3 minutes to pitch!

I would also like to know if this event will be in English or not - looks really fascinating!

  Hi Rowan, Just answered Mohammed here on the meetup - talks in English, free choice of language for the discussions with the speakers over beer afterwards! Hope that works for you and you can join us on Thursday :)

Hello, I am new to this group so wanted to ask if the above mentioned meetup is in English or not. And are there any charges for attending the program.

  Hi Mohammed, No charges for attending the meetup, bring a couple of Euros for the honesty-bar if you want any beer.

  The meetups generally work like this: talks in English, free choice of language for the discussions with the speakers over beer afterwards - sound good?

  Hi Thomas, I suspect the main action will be over by 22:00 - but often the conversations move on to a bar. We'll post in the comments to the meetup if we move on somewhere, so that you can join us!
