Apps for Climate Action Hackathon

VIATeC has been advised of an event that might be of interest to developers. Here are the details:

The Apps for Climate Action Contest challenges Canadian software developers to raise awareness of climate change and inspire action to reduce carbon pollution by using data in new applications for the web and mobile devices. A leader in climate action, the Government of B.C. created a public catalogue of its best climate and greenhouse gas emission data.

Join us to:

* meet Victoria developers and collaborate on projects
* get advice from fellow developers on data visualization and web technologies
* find out about the Ideas Victoria group and the up coming IdeaWave Conference
* CODE!

Ideawave and OpenDataBC want to provide a space for developers to meet, get questions answered, find collaborators for projects and build some great apps!

Bring your laptop.
Wireless, power and snacks provided!
