Global Quack & Hack (August Meetup)

The Global Quack & Hack will bring together all meetup groups and virtual DuckDuckHackers to help improve DuckDuckGo's results for developer-related searches. The DDG staff will broadcast throughout the day and provide 24 hours of live chat support as we create Instant Answers to improve the developer search experience. Read the condensed announcement here (https://duck.co/blog/post/196/the-first-global-quack-hack)!

The theme of the event is improving technical searches. Imagine Instant Answers when you search for your favorite languages, frameworks and technologies, giving you references (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=acceptfilter&ia=about), packages (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rubygems+cucumber&ia=software) and cheat sheets (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tmux+cheat+sheet&ia=cheatsheet) at your fingertips. We already have many developer-related Instant Answers (https://duck.co/ia?topic=programming#) that you can improve on but there are still a ton of searches that don't have Instant Answers. Join us to change that!

As usual, food and drinks will be provided. Please help to spread the word about this event, and if you cannot attend the event at Benjamin's Desk you can also attend virtually with staff support via Slack.
