All together now: Intro tools and team hacking

Details

For our next meetup, we're going to follow a similar model as in November (https://www.meetup.com/HacksHackersPhilly/events/39577072/). We're going to have three talks about tools (precise tools TBD). EDIT: We're going to crowdsource opening lightning talks about tips and tactics for locating, cleaning, and displaying data! We want to keep the talks intro focused. Rather than demoing new tools, we'll discuss how you can get more value out of tools you may already be using.

Then, we'll catch up with the Open Gov News hackathon, and talk about ways to get involved with (http://storify.com/jcstearns/are-we-building-or-hacking-the-future-of-journalis) and brainstorm ideas for an upcoming hackathon, Random Hacks of Kindness (http://www.rhok.org/event/philadelphia).

6:30 - Introductions
6:45 - 7:30 Lightning talks of tips, tactics, suggestions on wrangling data
7:30 - Demo/report back from Open Gov "News" hackathon during BarCamp News Innovation
7:40 - Brainstorming for Random Hacks of Kindness hackathon, June 2 and 3.
