This may interest some people here or maybe you know someone who has the mad skills (designing or programming) to participate:


The Charles Koch Institute (http://www.charleskochinstitute.org/about/) will co-host a hackathon, a collaborative coding event bringing together programmers and designers to work on a proposed problem in partnership with some of the top engineers in the Silicon Valley, POLITICO has learned.

The proposed problem for this event is “How do you engage voters on economic liberty issues that matter to them?” according to an engineer organizing the event set for June 21-22 in San Francisco (http://lincolnlabs.com/).

“A lot of groups are in early stages for the same idea,” Abrams said. “Are they going to work together, or are they going to compete?”

Could be a great networking opportunity for someone this... event is held in San Francisco next month.

Warlord thinks if you're young and have the skills you should go because there will be some big players there that you can meet and network with.
