The First Baltimore Hackathon

This is exciting -- I recently moved to Baltimore from Chicago, where there is a thriving startup and hacker culture (see ORD Camp, for example). Good to see that with this and events like Ignite and Node there is a lot going on for geeks in Charm City.<p>Are any Baltimore Pythonistas interested in starting a Python users group in the city? I know there is one in the suburbs but I for one would rather have one where I live.

we're trying really hard here to get people to come out and build who haven't attended any of the more "social" startup events in DC and Baltimore. All are welcome!

You might not expect it, but Baltimore has an awesome tech scene – lots of cool people interested in making stuff happen.

How about a worldvirtualhackathon so I can participate from Toronto!<p>Also, a list of hackathons that you could probably add to:<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon</a>

I would find interesting something related. Creating a platform for defining the next stage of an idea and how to code it in software. A collaborative remote project.

Will people get matched up with groups when they show up? I have two problems: I don't know anyone going, and I don't have any ideas for a project ...

Extraordinarily glad to see this in Baltimore since I was worried I'd never run into this community around town. Sadly, also really busy that weekend.

I'd love to come but I'll be attending an open source sprint on that Saturday: <a href="http://meetup.zpugdc.org/calendar/15036971/" rel="nofollow">http://meetup.zpugdc.org/calendar/15036971/</a><p>But I'd definitely come to the next one. I hope it's a huge success so there will be more in the future.

This is going to be an awesome event!
