National Day of Civic Hacking June 1 & 2

All you techies get ready for the first National Day of Civic Hacking that will occur on June 1 and 2, 2013. The goal is to bring together citizens, government agencies, and private sector organizations to use technology for the purpose of improving our communities. The challenge is to create tools using publicly-released data that will make innovative use of that data for practical purposes. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is participating in this effort by encouraging citizens to create tools that will allow people to use public library data in new and useful ways. Read the IMLS press release at http://bit.ly/13HRQuT.
