# Find yourself geolocated in Portland for JSConf or NodeConf? Join GeoIQ for some hacking and geogeeking, this Sunday

You know how Portland loves the geogeeking. I mean, we’re always hearing about how folks are using geolocation to hack, build products, or simply determine [how badass particular Portland neighborhoods may be](http://siliconflorist.com/2011/04/25/badass-portland-neighborhood-check-portland-badassness-map/ "How badass is your Portland neighborhood? Check the Portland Badass-ness Map").

But for all the local activity, it’s always nice when other folks who love geolocation data are in town, too. And that just so happens to be the case, what with [JSConf](http://2011.jsconf.us/ "JSConf 2011") and [NodeConf](http://nodeconf.com/ "NodeConf") coming up next week. Well, GeoIQ would like to take advantage of that serendipity. So they’re hosting a [Portland GeoIQ JavaScript Hack Day](http://calagator.org/events/1250460526 "Portland GeoIQ JavaScript Hack Day") at [PIE](http://goo.gl/maps/upjf "PIE"), Sunday, May 1 beginning at noon.

> Some of the GeoIQ Engineering Team is in town for JSConf. We’ve just recently revamped our API docs and added some new features. We thought it would be fun to show off what you can do with our JavaScript API and what we’ve been doing with Node.js and Raphael. Come join Chris, Derek and Kate at PIE… We’ll be providing food.

Sounds like fun right? Of course it does. So if you’ve got some free time on Sunday and want to do a little hacking, please swing by PIE.

For more information, please see [Portland’s premier tech calendar, Calagator](http://calagator.org/events/1250460526 "GeoIQ Hack Day"), or the [GeoIQ blog](http://developer.geoiq.com/blog/2011/04/17/portland-geoiq-hackday/ "Portland GeoIQ Hack Day"). To RSVP, please see the [GeoIQ JavaScript Hack Day on Eventbrite](http://geoiq.eventbrite.com/ "GeoIQ JavaScript Hack Day").
