Hey everyone!
Had a couple typos and missing links in my original post, and didn't see an edit
function. Sorry for the double post.

Autodesk is sending one of their own, uber teacher Gary Davis, to do a demo of
the updated 2014 Entertainment Creation Suite. In addition to that, someone from
Trinity 3d will be on hand to talk about their new material libraries. And
finally we'll have indie filmmaker David Matheny talk briefly about his upcoming
project, The Runaway Sun, and its indiegogo campaign. You can check out their
campaign here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-runaway-sun

Join us at HNTB 715 Kirk Dr., Kansas City, MO 64105 at 6:30pm for pizza and
more! We'll also have some Sybex books on hand, some T-shirts, and some hats as
door prizes and giveaways.

National Day of Civic Hacking, June 1-2

While some may associate “hacking” with malicious software geeks, in the current context, this whole email list is composed of “civic hackers”—citizens who worked hard and independently to effect the change they want to see in their community during the rally period last summer.

Interested in celebrating this year's National Day of Civic Hacking in Kansas City? Here are three ways you can get involved:

1) Join a team to help tackle a specific community problem. 

2) Attend a civic technology expo that features application demos to help you build the community you want.

3) Participate in a Write-A-Thon, an event that unites neighborhood experts, leaders and residents to provide content for the community site, WikiKC.org. The Write-A-Thon will be led by Andrew Hyder, our 2013 Code for America Fellow. 

Check out the Hack Kansas City | National Day of Civic Hacking website for a complete schedule and online registration.
