Post date: Jun 16, 2014 1:20:6 AM

At Hackathon in Holyoke from June 7th to June 8th, I participated in a "Civic Hackathon" called Hackathon for Western Mass: http://hackforwesternmass.org (Twitter: @HackforWestMA #HFCWesternMA.)

I joined the food finder challenge. Tech Scouts can learn a lot from the expert culture-setting Code of Conduct and Resource organizing of this project. Other resources to help with that:
