All around the world last week, Hacks/Hackers groups met on topics as varied as web scraping in Python to net neutrality to new storytelling techniques at Zeit Online. In New York City, a panel of four professor/journalists talked about the joys and challenges of teaching data + journalism. A couple of photos:

Call to action:

Thanks to Jessica Chapel for responding to last week’s call to action. She first encounteredHacks/Hackers in 2010: “My first experience with Hacks/Hackers was contributing to the creation of the Survival Glossary, which I remember as fun and happening really quickly.”

For this week’s call to action, we’re asking you to help update the Survival Glossary (a lot has happened in the past 5 years). To help, go to the Google Doc version of the glossary, where you’re encouraged to comment on entries you’d like to update, and add new entry suggestions at the end.

And we’re also continuing last week’s call to action, if you’re up for sharing your story of how you got involved with Hacks/Hackers, simply reply to this email.

Have a great rest of your week!
