Event at Bucketworks-this came across in an email so I thought I share

Posted by Trina on November 29, 2011 in Uncategorized |
Random Hacks of Kindness global hackathon will be taking place at
Bucketworks on 706 S 5th St in Milwaukee (as well as in 34 other
cities around the globe!).

This event aims to bring together experts on real world social
problems with hackers, designers, programmers, scientists and
world-saving enthusiasts to build technology which solves these
problems.  The main focus will be on water and disaster management
issues, but anything that helps make the world a better place is fair
game!

Lunch, team building and the problem presentations will begin on
Saturday at 12:30pm at Bucketworks (Milwaukee's original hackerspace).
 Hacking will commence at 2pm on Saturday and finish at 2pm on Sunday,
24 hours later.  You are free to come and go as you please, there is
no requirement to hack for 24 hours straight, but the space will be
available to you if you choose to use it.

Meals will be provided through out!  Prizes will be awarded to teams
for best water solution, best disaster solution, best design and a
sponsored challenge from WaterTech USA.

Hope to see you there!
