Haecksen Map

It all started with CCCamp2023, a shared interest in geodata, not much knowledge of web programming – and a ambitious idea: why not create a map that shows where Haecksen are hacking?

The Haecksen community has grown massively and there are many good reasons to meet up in real life (IRL) as well every now and then. But where can all the other Haecksen actually be met?

The map on map.haecksen.org provides you with a quick overview of local events, regular meetups, and initiatives from the Haecksen scene. New entries can be sent to haecksenkarte@haecksen.org at any time and will be added to the map. The goal of the project is to support networking at local level and promote founding of new groups.

In addition to this, the project also serves a educational purposes, as we learn new things about web programming, working with geodata, and developing map applications.

We could still use some support, esp. in the area of web development (CSS and JavaScript), but also in web design and graphics.

Do you have ideas or skills that could help drive this project forward? Then write to us at haecksenkarte@haecksen.org or join the Rocket Chat channel #haecksenkarte.

The code repository is on Gitlab.
