[open-government] Random Hacks Of Kindness - Oxford

Tue Nov 8 13:52:38 UTC 2011

Hello Open Data types,

I hope you all don't mind me posting a RHoK event to the Open Data lists.
Many of you may remember that last year in Oxford we hosted an Open Data
Hack Day, which was a big success. Well this year we've decided to focus on
RHoK, but of course, any Open Data heads are welcome to come use the
facilities.

Please join us on December 3rd and 4th for a RHoK hackathon in Oxford.

Hacking for Humanity

Throughout the weekend, we will be coding around real world problems from
all over the world.

RHoK has been working with subject matter experts from around the world to
develop problem statements addressing real world development  and
humanitarian challenges.  These problem statements will be the hacking
challenges thrown out to the developers at the RHoK hackathon. In Oxford,
we will have subject matter experts and problems from Oxfam  GB, based in
Oxford. See those statements as they develop at www.rhok.org.

At the end of the weekend, we'll invite you to share your RHoK application
with the group and see your work put to use on the ground to save lives and
alleviate suffering.

What Do I Need?
We will provide facilities, power, food and refreshments to help you write
your application. Just bring  your laptop, ideas, and enthusiasm to
complete the mix.

When and Where?
The Oxford hackathon will take place from Saturday, December 3rd at 09:00
until Sunday,
December 4th at 17:00. It will be held at the offices of White October (
http://www.whiteoctober.co.uk/ ), Unit 3 The Gallery, 54 Marston Street,
Oxford.

Space is limited so sign up now:
