Law Mining Hackathon

OKCon, Geneva, September 16-19, 2013

The next hackdays will focus on the subject of building bridges between the world of legal information and new open data apps, needed by both lawyers and lawmakers, as well as all citizens under the law.

We are forming an expert panel from people who submit challenges on the web site. These will be posted here as they get documented. If you wish to brainstorm ideas on your own, our open legal data wiki could be of some inspiration.

The challenges will be excellent starting points for new teams to form and quickly get into the exciting process of data wrangling, working closely with experts who will be there to share their knowledge and guidance. Where you take your Challenge is completely in your hands: we only expect you to abide by community guidelines.

There is one Main Room (“MR”) at the CICG 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 Thursday we will move to the university campus Uni Batelle (“UB”, exact room TBC) for the final day of hacking and presentations. Please note that we do ask you to have an OKCon ticket for this event.
