Santiago and Phil,
Thanks for voluntering to give a talk in FOSSDEM. I did summit it, under
the "Open Research Tools & Technologies" category[1], as I think it fits
better.

https://research-fosdem.github.io/
The title is something like "Grafoscopio: a pocket infrastructure fo
bridge reproducible research with investigative journalism, data
feminism and civic hacktivism" or something like that. This is the abstract:
"""
We will showcase Grafoscopio, a flexible, extensible, self contained
"pocket infrastructure", which simplifies infrastructure to amplify
participation, so reproducible research and publishing, agile data
storytelling and custom data visualization can be used in fields like
investigative journalism, data feminism and civic hacktivism. We will
show prototypes developed with Grafoscopio in the previously mentioned
domains, the motivations behind Grafoscopio and the local community
practices around it that deconstruct binary relations of power (software
developer/user, data producer / consumer, software binary / source code,
male/female) and approach reproducible research practices and tools from
a perspective located and embodied in a particular place of the Global
South in Latin America and in contrast/dialogue with Global North
perspectives.
"""
Also I applied to another event in Brussels organized for digital
activist that will be happening on January 20th, so maybe we can get
some funding to be there and I put in the FOSSDEM submission notes that
people in Europe could talk about Grafoscopio in case no funding is
available.
Cheers,
Offray

I should be there as well (I am local after all).
Would be cool to do something about Grafoscopio as I use it quite often.

Hi Offray!! I have no clue if there are scholarships. To be honest
i don't think so, since it is completely free. but still, don't
take my word. Check it. I can do some research on it tomorrow.
If not the case, we can do the proposal together, and if they
accept the talk we do an intensive couching / course and i present
it :)

*Offray*! I think there is space for graphoscope in here.
If you can give a talk, great, if not, i propose my self to
be the speaker (of course in that case i will need some
couching and teaching on the usage).
I will love to be in Brussels for early February to give the
talk, but if the event has no scholarships or travel funding,
I can couch you about what we have being doing with
Grafoscopio since 2015 and giving some overview of explanatory
materials including the mind maps, projects, prototypes, and
docs I use for the presentations.
Thanks for keeping and eye on this and thinking in the way the
wider community can participate on this,
Offray
