How can I become more involved in the data journalism developer community?

Your best bet is to join your local HacksHackers chapter. Chapters bring together journalists and developers, for monthly meetups to hear interesting speakers, learn new skills, or participate in hackathons / code sprints. Many of them have forums and discussion lists that you can join. Your participation is more than welcome!
