SUMMARY:OpenHack Miami
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Miami’s weekly Open Hack inside The LAB Miami co-working space in Wynwood. This is a chance to work on your projects and meet with folks from the Ruby Meetup\, Miami’s Code for America brigade\, and others. It’s also a good time to pitch in your journo skills by editing and writing. \nThe worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves “hacks\,” someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. \nThis group is to bring all these people together — those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It’s for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information\, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. \nIn the age of information overload\, all their work has become even more crucial. This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions\, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures. \nPlease also check out our blog at http://hackshackers.com

It’s for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information\, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. \nIn the age of information overload\, all their work has become even more crucial. This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions\, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures. \nPlease also check out our blog at http://hackshackers.com
