Hacks Hackers Berlin #16

Between the spring rain and the cheeky summer sun we would like to bring you another Hacks/Hackers speaker evening.

Our lovely hosts at Wikimedia will provide us beer and our lovely speakers will inspire us;

Faith Bosworth, a fabulous coordinator at Tactical Tech, who presented Google Nest (http://google-nest.org/) at Republica:14, a hoax that caused quite a stir. If you want to ask her more questions about the repercusions come along and ask.

Frederik Fischer, whose startup was actually born at Hacks/Hackers - will introduce the MIZ Innovation Grants - for projects at the intersection of journalism and technology. With grants for startups, media partners as well as individuals – no strings attached, a variety of audiences will be interested to hear what is on offer!

MC McGrath is a techie who has been leading the charge on a project for investigative reporters that makes it easier for them to scrape and visualize data.

Stefan Wehrmeyer and Moritz Klack will present a a fabulous project relevant to our local Berlin scenery. This sunday there's a referendum about the construction of buildings on the Tempelhofer airfield. A project from the Open Knowledge Labs Berlin got picked up by Berliner Morgenpost and turned into a 3D feature that explains the choice that Berliners have on Sunday.

See you all on Wednesday!
