[liberationtech] Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons, Nov. 8-10

[Yan Zhu]

Hi libtech,

There will be a worldwide series of hackathons in memory of activist Aaron
Swartz on the Nov. 8 weekend. We plan to have presenters talk about
projects in the spirit of Aaron's work at as many locations worldwide as
possible, and then have 36-40 hours of time for people to contribute to
them.

So far, we've had people volunteer to run events in San Francisco, Berlin,
Chicago, Boston, and Seattle. (We'd love to have more.)

If you'd like to give a presentation at one of these hackathons or organize
a new one, please email the coordination list at aaronswhack at numm.org. If
you're in SF, you can just reply to me.

There's more info about the hackathons at
http://aaronswartzhackathon.org/(summary/landing page) and
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Worldwide_Aaron_Swartz_Memorial_Hackathon_Series(wiki
for planning/organizing projects).

Please feel free to forward this email.
