Hey readers, welcome fall with a packed week of tech events.
This week: Two hackathons, Ignite Philly and a panel on new types of incubators — all chosen with great difficulty amid a very full calendar.
Penn Apps Fall 2012: The semi-annual weekend-long hackathon for students across the country. Friday, 6:00 p.m. – Sunday, 5:00 p.m. The Quadrangle, University of Pennsylvania, 3650 Spruce Street. University City. RSVP. Free.
Hacks for Democracy: Azavea and Knight-Mozilla OpenNews host a politics and voting-themed hackathon. (And, as an aside, we’re hoping to work with PennApps, Hacks and many other hackathons to create a more steamline process, in which we don’t have two hackathons during the same weekend) Saturday, 9:00 a.m. – Sunday, 5:00 p.m. Venturef0rth, 417 N. 8th St. Callowhill. RSVP. $5.
