hckrs.io 
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 ;)
Get you hacking
1. Download / clone this repo.
2. Go to the hckrs folder in your terminal.
3. Install dependencies: source ./tools/install.sh
4. Start up a local server hckrs run
5. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser and login with Twitter (why?)
Support for OS X and Linux right now. Meteor has no solid support for windows yet.
Roadmap
- 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.
Documentation
Read the wiki to get understanding of the project structure.
Techniqual documentation is available during development. Start up a local server and navigate in your browser to: http://localhost:3000/docs

Getting involved?
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!

Local Admins
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
