Hi @stervy, I know you posted a long time ago, but I would like to mention that - as community facilitator - I have started planning and organizing our Events Program. We want to make our Meetup groups - who are now fragmented and dispersed - central to the community, with common branding and coordinated events.
If you are still interested, send me a private message, or respond here.
One of the idea’s for the future is to organize hackathons and also a global coordinated hackathon: Idea: Global Awareness Hackathon to boost Awareness Campaigns project, jumpstart crowdsourcing
