Mark your calendars! On September 24th and 25th an unprecedented event is taking place: a codeathon bringing together programmers and software engineers from both the U.S. and Russia to address challenges of transparency and accountability in both countries.
This is a call for programmers, designers, engineers, techies, activists and digital diplomats to come out to American University (Washington, D.C. campus) on September 24th and 25th. You will have the chance to work with coders in D.C. and in Moscow to brainstorm, code, mash up data and win prizes.
Most importantly: all software built at Code4Country will be free software, licensed under a free software license of the developer’s choice, and the code will be posted to a public code repository.
Remember, free software needs free tools when selecting a code repository.
