<div dir="ltr">Howdy folks.<div><br></div><div>I mentioned at Thursday's meetup how I'm working on bringing more technology resources to South Central L.A. Part of that is bringing a hackerspace to a traditionally under-served area. More than that, we envision it as a community center built around technology- machines running Linux, training kids & teens how to program & exposing people of ALL ages to open source software, etc. But we need YOUR help to do it! We've made a submission to the LA2050 contest where we could win 1 of 10 grants worth $100,000 to make this vision a reality.<br>
<br>Please visit the link below, create an account & vote for us. You'll receive an email asking you to confirm your vote so please do so. There's a little over 48 hours before the voting period ends.</div><div>

If so, you can tweet @UrbanTxT & @Techivist (me) with the #Hackaneer hashtag.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in Advance!</div><div>--miguel</div><div><br></div><div>p.s. We just had South LA's 2nd Hackathon event this past Saturday where we taught kids how to program with Scratch, continued building a community resource guide/website & a bunch of other cool things. Comment below if you'd like to see links to photos of the event, etc. :)</div>
