This Saturday in the Washington DC – Baltimore area, there is Transportation Camp (put on by the good folks at OpenPlans) and CreateBaltimore 2 (put on by the Greater Baltimore Tech Council).

In New York City, the Hackathon for Social Good will take place this Thursday, and the CleanWeb Hackathon will take place on Saturday.

And in Honolulu, a hacking event sponsored by CityCamp starts this Friday.
