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.
Anyone who has ever been to SXSW Interactive will agree that it’s pretty much the Super Bowl of tech. It’s the biggest tech event of the year and for 5 days Austin Texas became the mecca of innovation and buzz in a world traditionally dominated by Silicon Valley.
Congratulations are in order for our friends at Va-Va-Vroom in Seattle. As of today, they have officially launched operations of their motorcycle courier service. Serving all of Washington and Northern Oregon, Va-Va-Vroom offers quick transport of everything from documents to packages.
Tropo and GeoLoqi would like to thank all of the participants in the yesterday’s 8 hour open government hackathon! At 8:30 AM, approximately 25 code warriors converged on NedSpace, a Portland co-working space, for a full day of social hacking and a mission to change the world. The goal was to find local government data available through either CivicApps.org, run by Rick Nixon and the city of Portland, or PDX API, run by Max Ogden – master opengov hacker, and integrate it into an application that used either Tropo’s cloud communications API or GeoLoqi’s geo API (or both).
