Hello, hacks and hackers! While some parts of the world are beginning to meet in person again, many are not, and Hacks/Hackers wants to encourage everyone to meet and greet safely.
If you are an organizer of a local Hacks/Hackers group, please get in touch about using our paid Zoom account! It can accommodate up to 500 attendees without a time limit.
