 ====== Law Mining Hackathon ====== ====== Law Mining Hackathon ======
  
-[[http://okcon.org|OKCon]], Geneva, September 16-19, 2013+[[http://okcon.org|Open Knowledge Conference]], Geneva, September 16-19, 2013
  
-The next hackdays will focus on the subject of building bridges between the [[data:legal|world of legal information]] and new open data apps, needed by both lawyers and lawmakers, as well as all citizens under the law. These apps might aggregate and sort through information, reduce repetitive work, make understanding and working with the law more accessible for everyone. [[http://make.opendata.ch/legal/|Read more]]...+At #OKCon, an event co-hosted by Opendata.ch and OKFN, we focussed on law and build applications to help lawyers to be more productive and citizens to make sense of both Swiss federal law and international human rights law.
  
-===== Challenges =====+The hackathon was part of Open Knowledge Conference 2013, held in Geneva that brought together more than 900 participants from 40+ countries. We convened at the CICG conference centre for the first three days and wrapped up at the University of Geneva, CUI Battell.
  
-We are forming an expert panel from people who have submitted challenges [[http://make.opendata.ch/legal/#propose|on the web site]]. These will be posted here as they get formalized.+We kicked off with a workshop of 25 people from different backgrounds - hackers, lawyers, activists and academics - and had then as many as 30 people who put their brains and computers together, and joined into the projects over the four days of the busy conference schedule.
  
-===== Schedule =====+ [[http://make.opendata.ch/legal/|Read more on the event home page ...]]
  
-There is one [[http://www.cicg.ch/en/rooms-7-8/|Main Room]] ("MR") for the Monday kickoff, and a HackSpace ("HS", outside of the MR at the same venue), where groups will have table space to work during the week. +On this wiki: [[#Results]] | [[#Challenges]] | [[data:legal|Open data]] | [[#Contact]]

-On Thursday we will move to the university campus [[https://foursquare.com/v/uni-battelle/4bc85c632f94d13a4c66137f|Uni Batelle]] ("UB", exact room TBC) for the final day of hacking and presentation.+A list of live projects and concepts has been posted to our home page:
