Hacks/Hackers Austin Sept. 30 Debut Meetup Draws > 40

The Austin group of Hacks/Hackers kicked off with a social meetup on September 30 at Austin’s Pizza near The University of Texas campus. More than 40 communicators and coders got together for some pizza and beverage, with lots of promise that these initial contacts will lead to some valuable collaborations.

In addition to the socializing and snacks, there were door prizes provided by Gowalla, Texas Tribune, Austin American-Statesman and Austin’s Pizza. Many thanks to everyone who came out to make this event a success. Thanks as well to Christian McDonald, Matt Stiles, Niran Babalola and Jon Lebkowsky for their help in organizing this event.

In the works for Hacks/Hackers ATX is a News Hackathon on 10/16 and next regular meeting on October 26 with special guest Jacqui Maher from The New York Times Interactive News Technology Team. Join our Meetup group, follow @hackshackersatx on Twitter and “like” us on Facebook, to stay in touch.
