On the weekend of December 12-13th, we’re holding an open, distributed, nationwide hackathon to develop open source applications to open government.  The goal is to solve as many open government problems as we can with as many hackathons across the country as possible. We’ve teamed up with Mozilla, Google, Redhat and Fedora, who will all be working with their developers to make things happen.
