[Grassroots-l] hackathon/mini-Jam in Boston, Sat. 2/16

[Mel Chua]

Right - hence the [[Jams]] page on the wiki. There's even a 
[[Template:Jam]] for folks who want to host their own hacking party (we 
avoided calling it a "hackathon" because nontechnical contributions are 
equally important and welcome.)

I know a bunch of people on this list have attended and run Jams before 
- please feel free to clean up the [[How to run a jam]] guide, if you 
have tips and advice for others running future events.
