ENVIROHACK
Passionate about technology and
environmental data?
When: Friday 29 November 2013
Where: NICTA Labs across Australia

Explore the datasets and see what services and applications you can help
create. You might be a beginner with bright ideas but not sure about the
technical aspects of building tools, services and apps.  Or you might be
technical and looking to pair with people who deeply understand the big
picture issues around environmental and geospatial issues.

Do I need to be a hacker to participate?
There is NO explicit requirement to end up with a polished, fully-working
prototype but just see what we can develop, mock-up, design and toss about in
the course of a day by coming together. It's set to be a fun day where you'll
meet like-minded people passionate about applying software to the big issues
facing the environment today and you might just pick up a few of the latest
techniques in coding, design and tool-building along the way.

Who should attend?
Developers who are working on or interested in environmental related apps
and services, data scientists, information architects, Government agencies
involved in environmental data, apps and services, anyone interested in rapidly
developing software and anyone else interested in the environment.
