-The [[event:home|first four]] Open Data Camps in Switzerland were a big success. Hundreds of people have attended the events in Zürich, Lausanne, Geneva, Bern, dozens of [[http://make.opendata.ch/doku.php?do=search&id=%40project|pioneer projects]] were initiated and implemented. The fifth make.opendata.ch camp aiming at Open Health Data promises to be the biggest and most provocative yet - save the date (and data) on 28-29 September 2012.
+At past [[event:home|Swiss Open Data Camps]] we have already had several applications and visualizations around the theme of "money", among them the [[http://bern.budget.opendata.ch/|Bern Budget Visualisation]]. At the next make.opendata.ch hackdays in March 2013 we will focus on the theme of finance, procurement, budgets and material worth in the widest sense.
-We are convinced that the thematic focus will strengthen the community of designers, developers, activists and journalists and foster innovation around making transportation both public and private a better, more efficient and more social experience through open data apps.
+Data is the so-called oil of the 21st century - with the difference being that every minute there is more data produced at an enormous and growing rate. We are excited to create and take part in these hackdays to explore the mountains of data treasures around, exchange ideas and start-up new applications around new possibilities.
+In Bern on Thursday we will have a General Meeting of the Opendata.ch society as well as a podium discussion on the subject of Open Data. On Friday and Saturday the hackdays will take place in Bern and Sierre in parallel – co-organised by [[http://www.iwi.unibe.ch/content/index_eng.html|University of Bern (Institute of Information Systems)]] and [[http://iig.hevs.ch/switzerland/institute-business-information-systems.html|HEVS Sierre (Institute of Business Information Systems)]]. The event is __free__ and we invite participants or all backgrounds, languages and experience to join us.
