Hi Python peoples, I realise it might be a little short notice but, for anyone free/interested, there's a hackathon in Tog from 7pm tonight until 7.30pm tomorrow on how to prepare cities for disaster scenarios and how to help out disaster response efforts by creating tools that can be used to focus information to those who need it.
Last time I went to something like this, it was, by crazy random happenstance, the same weekend as Hurricane Sandy. Attendees worked on with other hackers around the world and organisations like Hurricane Hackers (One of the main IRC channels during the whole thing), FEMA (charting damage areas), the Greater New York Hospital Association (tallying available hospital beds and which hospitals were still open), NYC Department of Education (finding out what schools were able to open and mapping available routes to them), and Geeks without Bounds (who are putting on the event this weekend). Anyway, linky: http://dublinhacks-smartcities.eventbrite.com/ - There's a timetable of the general idea of what'll be happening on there too! Might see some of ye there =) Padraic p.s. totally not affiliated with the event, just attending.
