Summary

Seattle Hacks is an open source, community-powered event calendar and information resource for developers in Seattle, created by Carter Rabasa and his friends. The site uses GitHub Pages and Jekyll to host its content, with a focus on curating high-quality developer events and meetups. To prevent spam, the team used a combination of free services and free software, including GitHub Webhooks to automate social media posting. The site is powered by the developer community, with pull requests reviewed by collaborators, and is licensed under the MIT license, allowing others to fork and deploy it in their own communities.
