All year, volunteers from Open Austin have been working on Civic Tech projects. Needs in the community were identified and researched at the Code Across Austin event in February. Teams formed around projects at the City-sponsored ATX Hack for Change in June. And throughout the year, we've hosted monthly Civic Hack Nights to push our projects forward.

The Ship It Weekend is our final major event of the year!
The focus will be on existing projects that just need that last little push.

All skills and experience levels are welcome.
Maybe you haven't done any "civic hacking" but you want to get involved with a project that could have a real impact in our community. We'll need help with design, development, user testing, field research, marketing, photography, writing, policy expertise and probably more.

Join us as we push forward on various projects  that have been started throughout the year. Come celebrate a great year of civic hacking in Austin and let's Ship It!

This event is conducted under the Open Austin Code of Conduct: http://www.open-austin.org/about/code-of-conduct
