Plus de détails
Hackdays bring people together for a day of building things. You start by learning more about relevant data and tools, and then form into groups of people who are interested in building the same things. It's surprising to see what you can build together in a day.
Often, the cobbled-together prototype proves a fantastic idea you can build into a functional website later. By bringing together people with a common interest, hackdays let you throw ideas around, use stuff you might not have thought of, and solve problems that had been troubling you for ages.
"VegHack" would be about helping people to live without hurting animals. We might use events data from vegan groups, data.gov.uk information about the use and abuse of other animals, or the databases set up by campaigning groups like VPSG or HorseDeathWatch.com.
This could be really useful networking event to encourage organisations to release and combine information in new and interesting ways.
("Hack" in this context means building things quickly. It is not used in the "unauthorised access" sense of the word. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_Day)
