Open-source software drives today’s most innovative journalism projects, from investigative data analysis to visualization. And code incubated in newsrooms—from Django to Backbone to D3—is part of what makes the modern web possible. There’s exciting work being done at the intersection of the journalism and open-source communities, and you can be part of it.

Come join OpenNews, Hacks/Hackers, and this year’s class of Knight-Mozilla fellows to talk about projects that are changing the way the web works as well as changing the way people understand the world they live in.
