I've been looking around for hackers (coders, etc) who also do socially good/conscious activities as well. I've come up short so I was hoping the HN community could help out. It's probably just me but I rarely see articles on hackers doing good (although a lot of startups have socially conscious messages, etc).<p>I know there's Code for America (making Gov't efficient), Taproot, and Catchafire but I've had a tougher time finding other like-minded initiatives or individuals.<p>And I'm not asking for any particular reason other than just to know.
I used to work for a company, the Chicago Technology Cooperative, where we focused on building websites (and apps) for non-profit organizations. Maybe you could start a company with that intent?

Ive recently began doing this as well. Would be interested in talking to you about possible projects and causes you find interesting. What is a way to contact you?
