In December, we had held a Demo Day with 5-minute lightning talks (presentations) from ProPublica, OpenGovernment.org, Slate, TPM and others.
We're holding another one at 6:30 p.m. on April 5 at New Work City. You'll hear from:
- Toby Murdock, Kapost publishing system
- Matt Terenzio, Localeaks anonymous news tips
- Jonathan Hall, SenseCast Kinect-driven news displays
- Nathan Freitas, The Guardian Project open-source mobile security
- Larry Adams, Narrative Science data-driven story generator
- Steven Romalewski and David Burgoon, OASISnyc interactive New York City maps
The lightning talks are 5 minutes a piece, with a brief Q&A after each. Thanks to everyone who pitched their demos when we issued the call!
RSVP today ($10, payable in advance) to attend the meetup — this will help cover food and drinks. (We're serving sliders! Omnivore and vegetarian.)
We're also looking for volunteers to photograph and blog the event. If you'd like to volunteer, email us at nyc[at]hackshackers[dot]com.
If the $10 fee is beyond your budget, please email nyc[at]hackshackers[dot]com and we'll work things out with you.
Join us to learn more about these great news-oriented projects!
