**[Net7](http://www.netseven.it), [The Open Knowledge Foundation](http://www.okfn.org) and the DM2E project present the first Pundit Hackday: an open hackathon about [Pundit](http://thepund.it), the novel semantic web annotation tool that is being developed as part of the DM2E project. Parallel we will run a users workshop.**

To get an idea what Pundit is about, have a look at this new video:

Any coder, developer (bring your javascript/html skills!) or designer is welcome, along with anyone (skilled or not!) interested in knowing what Pundit is, how to customize it or use it for your digital library project, or adapt it to help your daily workflow.

This free event aims to bring together software developers, scholars and all kind of users to try to steer Pundit’s roadmap following crowdsourced suggestions and ideas, building useful and interesting proof of concepts or pure hacks.

An initial plenary brainstorming session will determine what the hackers will (try to) develop during the two days. A non-technical workshop will run alongside the coding, a sort of Pundit users meeting or focus group. In the end, a final meet-up on the afternoon of the 4th will be open to all, to see what hackers hacked!

####Some ideas to get you started:

– connect more linked data providers (VIAF? dbpedia.de/it/es? .. your own!)
– automatic entity extractor improvements
– general user interface
– image annotation User Interface improvements
– general annotation model: OA compliancy
– visualizations (edgemap/politics/ …. lodlive? d3?)
– ASK User Interface (annotations, notebooks, ..)
– ASK general public search

.. or bring your use case and let’s hack it together!
