What is Hackitude?

HAckitude is where coders and non-coders come together to solve problems. It's a chance to do something exciting with the talent and information around us. The events try to counter the seemingly endless drudgery or meetings and showcases where much gets discussed, but little gets done.

The first Hackitude event was held in Birmingham UK, in late December of 2009. Out of it came a site called Metalocal, a platform for plotting any data about any place or event, on a map. The idea was a small success, so I, Moxy decided to do it again, but this time give people the opportunity to organise their own events.

I call them "hack parties".
