Announcing We the People 2.0 and a White House Hackathon @ The White House.

Since we launched We the People, our team of developers has been hard at work on the code that makes the whole thing tick. Good thing, too! More than 2 million users joined We the People in the last two months of 2012 alone and some 6 million of you have logged in to the system and left more than 10 million signatures. That’s a lot of citizen engagement for one application to handle, but it’s done well, and we continue to release updates to the source code on GitHub and Drupal.org

Linking to this because “Hack” and “Hackathon” are now being used by the gov, it’s a good trend. We’re all collectively celebrating “hackers” and “hacking” again.
