List of hackathons in Davis, United States in 2016

The SacSOS Datathon is a half-day event to crowdsource data that will help Sacramentans experiencing homelessness find the services they need. We need help from volunteers of all technical skill levels to find, convert, and upload more data to our system that is already up and running and helping people in our community! What is SacSOS? SacSOS is a website developed by a team at Code for Sacramento's Hack4Sac hackathon in early 2016. It allows people experiencing homelessness, or the people helping them, to search for and find the services they need, including how far away they are from the searcher and what their hours of operation are. SacSOS has a bunch of great features, and a lot of useful information, but it needs more! What will you do? Depending on your skills, you will help us add information to SacSOS by: Finding available service data online Typing or copying/pasting data into a spreadsheet Converting existing data to the right format to upload to the database Scraping data from PDFs Other ETL functions as necessary What can you bring?
