Hackathon (starting at 23:00) 

1. Metahack!  Hack the FORCE11 Manifesto.  Here is a chance to show how scholarly communication could look – a future there for you to reinvent. At this hackathon we invite everyone interested in coding and dreaming to bring their innovative principles into practice: interactive figures, collaborative peer review, executable papers, crowdsourced collaborations – bring it on!  We will devote a portion of the –Drupal-based – Force11 website to the Force15 hackathon. The FORCE 11 Manifesto is now 4 years old, and a staid PDF! document – we want to invite anyone who is interested to reinvent, recode, rewrite/update/upgrade it. If you prefer, feel free to write/sing/code your own contribution on changing communication on the platform and link it to the Manifesto.
    
2. Community Mining of Scientific Publications.  Build and deploy scrapers for scholarly journals and tools to liberate millions of facts from the scientific literature - from species names to chemical structures, tree diagrams, gene identifiers and diseases. Think of questions that machines could ask using the whole of our combined scholarly output and explore how to answer them through current technologies and identifying potential novel approaches.
