DC is one of four cities selected for USA.gov’s Open Data Hack Day! From the official website:

Data is created every time someone clicks on a 1.USA.gov link, which happens about 56,000 times each day. Together, these clicks show what government information people are sharing with their friends and networks. No one has ever had such a broad view of how government information is viewed and shared online.

The Hack Day will bring together software developers, entrepreneurs, and curious citizens to look at the data produced by 1.USA.gov and discover new uses for the information.

Hack Day is taking place on Friday, July 29 from 10am-6pm. The event will be held at Busboys and Poets in the Cullen Room. The address is 1025 5th St NW in DC. If you would like to participate, please RSVP for the event no later than July 22.

HacDC is not affiliated with USA.gov.

The second Introduction to Programming class is this Thursday (and every Thursday for the next five weeks)! For more information on what this class is about (and to catch up if you missed a class) check the page on our Wiki. As a reminder, the class goes from 7pm – 9pm (or later if you want to stay and keep working). The class is free for members. Non-members are asked for a suggested donation of $5.

I hope to see you there!

Come check out our sound system for our first ever HACDC movie night before we take it down!  You don’t have to bring one-hundred-thousand marks to the phone booth outside the Spirale Bar by noon, but you do need to bring youself to HACDC by 9:00pm tonight (Saturday, July 26).
