Civic Hack Night

Following up on the CT Civic Hackathon (http://www.hackforchange.org/ct-civic-hackathon) we hosted back on June 1st, let's have a more casual civic hack night.

DETAILS:

• The first 30 minutes will feature a brief presentation (speaker TBD) on a civic dataset and data visualization, followed by a Q&A.

• The remainder of the meetup will be an open format. This is not a hackathon: no demos, presentations or judging.

• This is a technology/language/platform/tool-agnostic meetup. Develop in/on anything.

• Designers are welcome, encouraged and needed! Think infographics, DataViz, etc.

• Theme: we encourage any type of civic-related hacking, such as projects that utilize the read/write #Open311 (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Open311) standard, #OpenData (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23OpenData) sources, or #OpenGov (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23OpenGov) initiatives.

• There will be pizza & beer. NB: gluten-free and vegan folks, please let me know ahead of time.
