A Hacks/Hackers overview with Chrys Wu and a chat with Knight-Mozilla fellow Laurian Gridinoc at Hacks/Hackers Brighton

Hacks/Hackers global coordinator and New York co-organiser Chrys Wu (@MacDiva on Twitter) spent an evening with Hacks/Hackers Brighton on Tuesday, 22 November to report on what chapters around the world have been doing. She explained Hacks/Hackers started just 18 months ago, with an idea originating in mid-2009. “Developers and journalists really do need each other,” Wu said, explaining how a variety of social meetups, talks, demo days and hackathons are the basis for the Hacks/Hackers community.
