-After [[http://opendata.ch/2011/06/opendata2011-medienmitteilung/|initiating the debate]] in  national politics and the media, it is now time to make open data happen: right here, right now, with the tools at hand, the data within reach, to bring out the ideas everybody is coming up with. We are kick-starting a community of designers, coders, communicators and activists to help Switzerland move towards a more ‘direct data democracy’ for participation, transparency and accountability from the grassroots.
+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.
-Plugged into an international community, we are a group of people passionate about data transparency and digial media. For a glimpse of what’s coming, have a look at [[http://youtu.be/NQoa68PW1lI|this swissnex video]] of the

+At past [[event:home|Swiss Open Data Camps]] we have already had a few ideas around the theme of **open legal**, among them the [[project:semantic_legal]] and we have constantly explored and debated the boundaries of what we can legally do with the data, understand the conditions of use fully. At the next make.opendata.ch hackdays in September 2013, we will focus on the theme of online law, legal data, and data licensing in a wide sense.
-Want to get an even better idea of what this is all about? The [[http://www.opendata-showroom.org/|Open Data Showroom]] and [[http://www.visualizing.org/|Visualizing.org]] offer exciting glimpses into the creative potential of open data visualization and applications.
