Code for Miami’s #HackforChange – June 6

Code for Miami’s #HackforChange – June 6

You’re invited to Code for Miami’s #HackforChange event on Saturday, June 6th.

The event coincides with National Day of Civic Hacking, a nationwide event aimed towards improving our communities and our governments.
We’ll have data and hackathon challenges focusing on four core areas: Transportation, Disaster Preparation and Relief, Climate Change, and the Florida State Budget:

• National challenges including new data on climate change and the environment, local civil services, and much more.
• Our first-ever state challenge with civic hackers in cities throughout Florida to create visualizations and apps using Vendor Payment Data from CFO Jeff Atwater’s office.
• Local challenges using county 311 and GIS open data, prioritizing data sets we would like to get opened in Miami, and drafting your ideas for an Open Data Policy.

We’re expecting a group filled with writers, policy makers, developers, government folks, journalists and even Florida’s CFO Jeff Atwater. Coding isn’t required, you only need to want to make Miami better.

Learn more about the challenges at: http://codeformiami.org/events/national-day-of-civic-hacking-2015

This event is a lot of fun, and my favorite hackathon in Miami: no prizes, no overbearing sponsors, just good times with computers and friends.

For the love of Software

For the love of Software

This week we are having a mini-focus on all-things software. Starting with our Top Job pick which is for a QA tester with a great local Miami firm. Our friend Tom Hudson from WLRN radio produced a fascinating mash up of South Florida tech personalities discussing their views on South Florida as a Tech Hub – hear the on-line broadcast of WLRN’s Sunshine Economy.  We’re also highlighting this Thursday’s Agile Transformation Summit. Just a few weeks out we have Code for Miami’s #HackforChange, and SQL Saturday #379.

So get out there and support your local tech community.

If you need more information about attending, sponsoring or volunteering at one of our top technical events, please contact me directly Alex@SherlockTalent.com
