In association with the kind people at Zeit Online, the next edition of Hacks/Hackers Berlin will take place in one of the newest newsrooms in Berlin.
Framed by a tour of their new operation, we'll feature a handful of open lightning talks, before breaking out into the usual post-Powerpoint drinks and conversation.
As ever, anyone is welcome to present anything that is visual, engaging and related to journalism. Please get in touch with Adam Thomas or Marta Peirano via Meetup, email or twitter (@SourceAdam @minipetite).

Nice, inspiring talks. The whole thing was a bit unorganized though.

The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds.
This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial.
This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures.

Meetup has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met naturally - they're totally different than me.

Good networking; presentations could use polishing (and rehearsing).
