The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is officially launching on April 18th and 19th, and they've made their Search API publicly accessible. This wiki was created to help coordinate unofficial and grassroots meetups, roughly the same time as the launch, where folks can gather and explore the API by hacking, building, and exploring its data.
This is primarily being organized in the Bay Area, but folks have expressed interest in hacking in different cities as well; we'll try to coordinate our efforts on this page.
If you have a github account, simply login and edit. There is lots of info to still be added.. go bananas. If you don't have a github account but have content to add, just shoot @davelester a tweet.
