Where: London (The Barbican) and Online (so you can join from anywhere in the world)

As with all hackdays, exactly what gets work on gets decided on the day (you can add suggestions to the etherpad). However, one particular idea, which we could become a submission to Apps4Italy, is set out below at http://openeconomics.net/hackday-january-2011/
