Smart Oakland is hosting its first and (hopefully) only “Vision Narrative Writing Hackathon” in a push to prepare the City of Oakland's response to the US Dept. of Transportation' Smart City Challenge.
When: Friday, January 22, 2016, 9:00am - 5:00pm (or whenever they force us to leave)
Where: Online (here) and in person at 250 Frank Ogawa Plaza, 4th Floor, Suite 4314 (unless we need to find a bigger room; note that in person participation will be limited to the Smart Oakland project team and select contributors)
Who: Anyone who cares about the future of Oakland, safe transportation, enhancing mobility, addressing climate change, the sharing economy, responsible and trustworthy government, "techquity" (sp?) and a slew of other important things that are making cities smart(er) is invited to participate by following along with "View" privileges online; members of the Smart Oakland project team and select contributors will be given "Comment" privileges.
Never been part of a "hackathon" before? Not to worry--most of us haven't either! That being the case, let's get some comments going on this post with resources for putting on a successful event!
To get the conversation going, here's a couple of examples:
