These are both far away -- but within reach of Acela, I guess....

Subject: [Wmfall] Two museum hackathons that might interest you in the
eastern US
Hi everyone -
Please share the details about these two hackathons. And I encourage you to
attend if you find yourself on the East Coast of the United States:
November 16-17, Smithsonian Luce Center Hackathon, Washington, D.C.
http://lucehackathon.eventbrite.com/
January 24-26, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD
http://thewalters.org/events/eventdetails.aspx?e=2711
The latter will have more of a focus on open source, as much of the content
utilized and unlocked involves the content that the Walters released openly
to the world last year in a major content donation to Commons.[1] This is
their second hackathon!
I'm colleagues with both of the organizers, so if you're interested in more
in depth involvement, let me know!
Sarah
