Hey Pythonistas,
The
Rockaways were hit pretty hard by Sandy last year, and so the major
themes of the event are disaster preparedness and recovery, especially
communication in an emergency and rebuilding. There are a lot of
opportunities to do a lot of good for a community like Rockaway.
There will be engineers from the City, foursquare, Intel, and some others on hand to help out with data and APIs.
Because we know it's a bit of a trek, there's a bus to and from the event, leaving from the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn.
Shoot me any questions, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Here are the eventbrite's (it's free, obviously) for the hackathon and
the bus:
