Meetings & Events
=================
The CIViC team regularly holds curation jamborees and development hackathons. At curation jamborees, we work with attendees on actual CIViC curation tasks, both educating users and improving the knowledgebase with group curation. During development hackathons, we help developers to integrate their applications and knowledgebases with CIViC via the API, or help developers work on the CIViC codebase by implementing features or fixing bugs.
