Hi,
I just want to let you know that we will be starting our next Data Week in few days. It's a 6 days intensive hackathon-workshop split in two sessions from Thursday to Saturday each one in. Next one will be on Jul 21 to 23 and Jul 28 to 30. As usual, we work with an approach from data activism & visualization. It's an event directed towards a broader diverse population, coming from art, journalism and with different levels of expertise, specially newbies, all interested in data visualization. As a result we improve the tools [1] and packages [2] and learning materials [3] (Spanish). Is a good way to bridge local and international community. You can find more information (in Spanish) about the event and our tool at [3a] and [3b].
Four our next project, we will work on our a project called Twitter Data Selfies (draft info at [4]).
I will keep you posted about our advancements, improvements and problems here and in slack and share some more in real time, using the #DataWeek4 hashtag on Twitter [5].
Cheers,
Offray
