Open(source).athon hosted by Hacks/Hackers NYC at OpenPlans penthouse, Oct. 2, 2010, originally uploaded by zokuga.

If you’re a coder looking to hack for the public interest, or a hack wanting to join the coding world, there’s no better club to join than NYC’s Hacks/Hackers (if you’re in NYC, at least). Last weekend, they hosted a daylong code-a-thon, where programmers and writers teamed together to knock out (and document) their open-source projects. It was held at the swank OpenPlans penthouse and catered (thanks to Google’s sponsorship) with Baohaus’ amazing pork buns.
