The Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons generated considerable interest and engagement, but there's more work to be done.

This is a page for coordinating this continuation, which is tentatively slated to begin Sept/Oct.

We are also using #aaronswhack on irc.oftc.net and can be reached on the list aaronswhack@numm.org

Format

I see a hackathon minimally looking something like this:

  • intro & curated pitches/presentations, mostly from activist/ngo types
  • some sort of update on work from other locations
  • time to work, for those who can find a project, maybe with simultaneous workshops
  • demos at the end, with documentation as a necessary registration step to a demo


Proposed Dates

  • Set up a event webpage - July
  • Recruit hacklabs (as hosts) and activists (as PMs) - August
  • Get signal-boosting web coverage - September
  • Run events - October
