Humanitarian Hacking for Fun and Profit

Geeks Without Bounds is a nonprofit organization that supports humanitarian open source projects through a combination of hackathons and an accelerator program. In this talk, I'll be explaining how you can get involved, whether you want to support existing humanitarian projects in your spare time or make humanitarian open source technology your full time gig. You'll learn about GWOB programs such as the Friday Challenges, our internship program for novice developers, Accelerator Weekends, and the six month accelerator program that takes prototype projects and helps them work towards sustainability.
