Dear all,

the Law Mining Hackathon 2013 in Geneva during the OKCon was a huge success and led to the re-activation of this OKFN working group and mailing list.

Everybody is taking about open data, open innovation and open source software today. Why shouldn't the legal community benefit from these concepts as well? We would like you to become active in this forum! What are your thoughts?

Sometimes it does not take a huge effort to drive innovation, as we have seen in Geneva. A few projects have been launched in only three days:

- Case Law as a Service (CLaaS)

- Open Laws Search (http://www.openlaws.eu/)

- Open This Data (http://button.datalets.ch)

- Open Privacy Legislation (http://cdb.io/19dvTYx)

Special thanks to the team in Switzerland: Christian, Oleg and Jean-Henry. You were great!

Read more about the hackathon projects here: http://make.opendata.ch/?page_id=541

What can you do?

- Spread the word to your colleagues and friends.

- Ask them to join our mailing list: http://legislation.okfn.org

- Become active in our mailing list and start discussions!

To get the ball rolling:

- What do you think about the hackathon projects?

- How much would you share with others? How open are you?

- What do you think about Open Access Journals in the legal field?

- How will future legal services look like in an open environment?

Just as a reminder, the OKFN Open Legislation Working Group exists to:

Define the area of Open Legislation – what it means and what it involves. In our view there are at least three facets: availabilty of legal documents, information on law-making processes and the collaborative work on legal documents.
Act as a central point of reference and support for people who are interested in open legislation
Identify practices of early adopters, collecting data and developing guides.
Act as a hub for the development of low cost, community driven projects related to open legislation

Best, Clemens
