NOTE:  THIS IS NOT A "NETWORKING EVENT".  IT'S SUPER INFORMAL.  I DESIGNED THIS TO MEET ENTREPRENEURIAL PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR GOALS WHO WANT TO START AND/OR LAUNCH A NEW BUSINESS.  If you need to contact me, you can reach me at (619) 846-7661. Location Details: I'll be there from 9:00-12:00 but feel free to come at the time that works for you. (Look for the blond guy on the Mac with blue headphones -- I'm usually siutting inside by the door.) It'll be pretty laid back so come ready to have a fun morning! There's good Wifi and a number of power outlets Some parking on the street is unrestricted but some have 2 hour limits  (the best parking is typically on Felspar) See you soon! Matt

Free Lunch!!! Get started with the new web components standard and Google's Polymer web components framework as part of an open source project: the Collaboration Tree.  Web components allow you to create new HTML tags which can be used with any other HTML based web technology.  Polymer adds data binding for cascading changes, as well as a broad library of polished components.  The Collaboration Tree (cTree) is an open source project in progress, built on Polymer, who's goal is to create a new large scale collaborative discussion platform (read: open think tank). This event will introduce you to the project and help you get hands on with Polymer web components.  If you want to continue learning and working with Polymer on a real project you can join a cTree team working on a specific part of the project.  For newer developers, open source project teams are a great way to build up your resume. Before the event We recommend joining our Slack group and seting up the project in advance.  If you have any issues we can help you resolve them during the event.  We also encourage you to sign up for GitHub if you don't already have an account If you're looking to jump in a bit early we're also at Hack for LA most Tuesday nights. Free parking Parking is available up the ramp off Beverly Blvd, just next to 2731 Beverly Blvd.  Take the stairs down from the center of the parking lot (push the buzzer next to the door) and follow the signs to the lobby.

Free Lunch!!! Join us for our monthly hackathon to work on the open source Collaboration Tree (cTree) demo site: a collaborative design/innovation web platform.  Work with other contributors in LA and online to develop this exciting new open source technology as a community.  Attendees are encouraged to join one or more of the teams working on a specific part of the project.  For newer programmers and designers, open source project teams are a great way to build up your resume. Programmers: get experience with Google's Polymer platform and web components (no web experience needed)Designers: help shape the user experience for this uniquely complex projectEveryone Else: learn more about the project and how you can get involved early Before the event We recommend joining our Slack group and checking out the project before the event, as well as signing up for GitHub if you don't already have an account.  Programmers are also encouraged to set up the project in advance, and we can help resolve any issues during the event.

A data science hackathon using a real world data set. Learn new skills, network, and "hack" your way through the data for fun and prizes.

Join MD5 for our continuing series of hackathons where you can test your innovation skills and tackle big national security challenges! We’re looking for students, developers, designers, and hackers from the academic, military, and start-up communities to come together for a weekend to explore non-traditional, innovative concepts for tactical computing capabilities in austere environments. MD5 will provide up to $90,000 in total awards to winning teams to further develop their concepts! Challenge Overview In "Off the Grid", we're working with US Army Special Operations Forces (SOF) to help them develop new capabilities for operating at the edge. SOF operate in austere environments, often training and conducting missions with local counterparts and living with the same limited access to resources and communication infrastructure. Furthermore, the technological advantage that SOF operators enjoy is quickly eroding as adversaries rapidly develop new capabilities. Operational Constraints: This austere operating environment imposes several technological constraints on operations: Weight: Only what they can carry in on their backs. The weight of power sources and electronics hardware is a limiting constraint on how much processing and communication capability a team can have in the field. Energy efficient solutions, high energy-density power sources, and an innovative combination of both can increase these capabilities. Connectivity: Limited traditional satellite, radio, or other connectivity. SOF must be able to operate independently wherever they are deployed without any assumption of support from back home or from allies. Security: Mobile systems must be hardened against hostile intrusions and communications must be encrypted. Focus Areas: Despite this challenging environment and daunting operational constraints, SOF operators must be able to perform many critical functions. This hackathon will address two challenges of properly equipping operators with the tools necessary to accomplish their missions: Edge Processing: Computer processing currently relies on bulky and heavy hardware and power sources. How can we improve the ability to perform complex, analytical tasks (e.g., computer vision, natural language processing), in the field, without access to cloud computing? Data Transmission: Operators often have requirements to transmit large amounts of data to command elements when there is little or no communications infrastructure available. For example, they may be required to stream high definition, full-motion, real-time video or store up to 32 hours’ worth of data for later transmission. What innovative capabilities can be developed to collect, manage, and transmit data in austere environments? Ideal solutions should be platform agnostic and minimize the size and weight of hardware and power sources. MD5 will provide up to $90,000 in total awards to winning teams to further develop their concepts! Can you Hack it? We think you can!
