[Noisebridge-discuss] OccupySF Hackathon Tonight @The Hub, (EventBrite)

[lauren palmateer]

Great.  Thanks. Am not a hacker, but my wishlist would be how to see if
something is really live.

And what is a list of the live broadcasts coming out at any onetime.

I say this since when it started, I tried to get someone to start spreading
the word. He said he has 30K followers and he sure as hell was not going to
ping them with something that was not live.  The Global Revolution Occupy
Wall Street livestream had a delay of 10 minutes or so.

It is not easy to always determine if it is live, and I think it is
important.

Thanks for your working on this.

Lauren

The Hub 
921 Mission St San Francisco, CA 94103

(PT) 

There's a movement growing across this country. Thousands of people are
saying that they've had enough of Wall St, DC, and an economy that only
works for 1% of us. 

To support and expand this movement, we're organizing a last minute
hackathon. Our goal is to get a room full of programmers, designers, artists
and anyone else who's interested, all working on hacks and tools to make the
movement stronger. 

We'll kick things off Friday night with some overviews of whats happening
and form teams. We'll finish Saturday evening with presentations.

Few other notes:

*	To keep things grounded, we're reaching out to various occupations
across the country to get  a wishlist of what they'd like built. We'll also
have a few folks from various campaigns and organizations there to give you
more insight in what will be useful.  
*	There's no prize money here. This is being organized by a group of
volunteers. But, at the end of the day on Saturday, we'll have presentations
and vote on an audience favorite.   
*	We're doing this fast and with not a lot of resources. If you'd like
to help out, please contact us at occupyhack at gmail.com. We could use help
with promoting the event and logistics during the day.   
*	If you've got an API or dataset that you think could be helpful,
please contact us at occupyhack at gmail.com. If you'd like to sponsor the
event, we'd love to hear from you too ;)
