hckrs.io is an invite only platform for hackers; for basicly anyone who has to make stuff, somehow related to technology. #web #design #growth #hardware #life... Join your local city to see it in action. (Europe only for now)
[ Live Demo ]
The project is completely open source, meaning that you will have full insight on the development progress and are very welcome to contribute. Together we can build better tools for local ecosystems, for hackers at least ;)

######2. Go to the hckrs folder in your terminal.

- Subcultures with meetups
- Gather interests — based on the Stack Overflow tags
- Go mobile — a hybrid application
Parallel things we need help with
- Build a CalDAV / CardDAV server per city
- Aggregation of different agenda feeds into a single one
- Building a social invite plugin
- Integrating http://telescope.meteor.com/
- Finding parners that want to give discounts to hackers.

No need to be a developer to contribute. We have ambitous plans that require all kinds of skills, you may be good in video, story telling, copywriting, blogging, interviewing/podcasting, mobile apps, events, curation, hackatons, recruitment.
We are looking for people that make things happen. (BAM!)
It's also okay to just start developing (making changes to this repo). Feel free to work on issues or add your own. Do a pull request when you are done.
GO!
You can also contact toon@hckrs.io, or take a look in the parallel things we need help with section above.
Because each city has it's own identity, they are led by local admins.
These local admins need to :
- activate signups with a hacker profile
- reply to local email
and sometimes go the extra mile :
- plan the monthly hckrs meetup (BEER + GEEKS = ♥ MEETUP)
- manage local Twitter account
