Since 1 January 2005 Swiss law considers digital signatures as equal to handwritten signatures. On 3 May 2010 the Seco (Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs) launched the suisseID to break the hen/egg problem of digital signatures in Switzerland.

Reaching a high market penetration is a critical issue for the suisseID: this means that on one hand it is necessary to win a high number of legal entities as well as natural persons owning a digital signature, on the other hand, it is urgently needed, that all major online-services accept the suisseID as identification.

The suisseID-Community-Day organized by simsa is invented to transfer the knowledge about suisseID technology and how the suisseID can easily be implemented in an existing application.

Hackergarten is a user group unlike any other. Once a month Canoo organizes a night dedicated to contributing to open source software.

Hackergarten is a craftmen's workshop, classroom, a laboratory, a social circle, a writing group, a playground, and an artist's studio. Our goal is to create something that others can use; whether it be working software, improved documentation, or better educational materials.

Our intent is to end each meeting with a patch or similar contribution submitted to an open and public project. Membership is open to anyone willing to contribution their time. Come join us at Jazoon on Wednesday night as we work together to make something useful.

Several speakers and open source contributors are attending and will help guide us through a fun night of coding. Food and drink are provided.
