Developers
& Designers

Be you programmer, software engineer, computer scientist, code monkey, computer nerd, pixel pusher, civic hacker, data addict, web dev, or WordPress guru. We want you to bring your skills to our 24 hour hackathon on Oct 15 & 16. We'll be camping out at Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. And it'll be even more fun with a team! Get your friends or coworkers to come along. Still not sure?

Hacking
open data

The data is all around us. It's been called the "invisible architecture" of our world and we're helping to make more of Reno's data available, clean and accessible. Hack4Reno's Hackathon will demonstrate to the local government and it's citizens what can be accomplished when the data is open. Come hack with us.

Hacking
for good

What do we mean good. Anything that makes Reno better. An app that helps people locate emergency services is, obviously, a good thing. What about a site with detailed information on all the historical buildings in Reno? Or, an app so people can find the closest food truck when they're out on the town. All of these things benefit the area or the people in it. We like that. Let's build something together.

Hacking
for prizes

Maybe Civic Hacking isn't your thing. Maybe you just like a good, old-fashioned competition. Maybe, just maybe, you want to show how good you are. Our supporters want to see what you can do and they've provided prizes for the best applications to come out of this craziness. We'll have prizes for different categories and some fun stuff we can't mention yet. All you have to do is register and particpate.

Last Friday (16 September, 2011), Brandon Rittiman was kind enough to have us on Beyond the Headlines at KUNR. We spoke with him during the later part of the show about hacking, Hack4Reno, Open Government and how geeks need more sun.
