920 are co-sponsoring Auckland’s first civic hacking event, Hack Auckland: Transport on 24-25th May at AUT. This is an open invitation to designers, software developers, architects, activists, innovators or anyone who wants to be involved, to participate in a weekend of ‘hacking for good’. Registration is free and open now http://hackakl.org.nz/
Hacking is about problem solving – think Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, John Britten, Richard Pearce. History is littered with great hackers. Hacking in a civic context is a democratic process that enables and empowers citizens to participate constructively in their community for greater good.
