are interested

After the great success of the first 2 editions, Random Hacks of

Kindness is again coming to Southampton on 1-2 June.



Sponsors include Google& Microsoft, and with talks by The Google

Developer Group, CrisismappersUK, SoMakeIt, CleanwebUK, and possibly

others it should be a great event.



The idea is that for one weekend, people working around development

(World Bank, NGOs, Oxfam, local charities, researchers, ...) sit

together with programmers/sw engineers. The development people pitch

problems they would like the software people to work on and the

software people pick a problem, form a team, and come up with a prototype.



The whole point is to come together and do something for the greater good.
