If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to build an app, or how to build with a team, or what these “hackathon” things are all about, this event is for you. We provide you with food, power, motivational drinks, and guidance. You bring your toolset (laptop, tablet, favorite pen, brain) and a willingness to hack. Click here to register. (more…)
This weekend in San Francisco, join Tropo for a special kind of hackathon welcoming first time hackers. Everyone Hacks is designed to create safe space while expanding what you think you’re capable of. In a collaborative setting, you’ll produce a surprising amount of work in a very short period of time, both with people you have only just met and old friends. The event is reaching out to women who are interested in these events, and is definitely transgender and queer friendly. Male-bodied folk are also welcome.
This is a guest post by Willow Brugh, director of Geeks Without Bounds
Hi, I’m Willow Brugh (aka willowbl00), and I have the honor of telling you about Geeks Without Bounds and response, specifically to Hurricane Sandy. What’s Geeks Without Bounds, you ask? GWOB links together hacker, maker, and developer communities to humanitarian organizations to make good ideas field ready. We participate heavily in other people’s hackathons (like Random Hacks of Kindness and SpaceApps), and provide 6 months of mentorship to teams and projects (some of which come out of those hackathons). We are accepting applications through December 12th. /shamelessPlug
Do you want to help with Sandy response? Come design, code, and learn with other people this weekend at a CrisisCamp!
We’ll be joining forces again with our friends at the AT&T Foundry for the AT&T Mobile Hackathon for Social Good coming up on October 26-27 in Palo Alto. Mobile App Hackathon is an event produced by the AT&T Developer Program that is designed for attendees (technical & non-technical) to build apps/mobile apps, get fed, compete for prizes across different categories and most importantly: meet new people and scout for teammates to work on new or current projects.
Twice a year we like to get together with some friends and give back to the world. Over the past two years, Tropo has been an active sponsor of Random Hacks of Kindness events in Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, Milwaukee, Portland, and San Francisco and, through our unique ongoing partnership with Geeks Without Bounds, we are now in a position to help even more.
What a weekend! Tropo sponsored Random Hacks of Kindness events in 4 different cities. We’re still resting up from the craziness, but I wanted to do a quick post about the winning project in San Francisco.
This weekend, December 2-4, thousands of developers, hackers and coders will be joining forces in 32 cities around the globe to participate in Random Hacks of Kindness 4. This is the third RHoK event we’ve partnered up with Geeks without Bounds to sponsor and help organize events in San Francisco, Portland and Milwaukee.
One of the cool things about Tropo is that it’s not trapped in the cloud. Sometimes your cloud provider can go down. But fortunately as an open source project of Voxeo Labs, pretty much anyone can spin up their own private Tropo cloud. You can also run a hybrid cloud that leverages the best of both worlds. Yeah, Tropo is good like that.
We’re happy to announce that Tropo is sponsoring the first ever GameSave Exhibition in San Francisco on Friday, July 15th. GameSave was born out of a partnership between Geeks without Bounds and Gameranx in an effort to challenge developers to design games that help us better mitigate disasters and crises.
