Hi all, a hackathon will be organized from October 3rd to 10th worldwide in order to help fighting Ebola You could have more explanation here: https://www.hackerleague.org/hackathons/computing-for-ebola-challenge Some projets that might be interesting: visualization, analysis of epidemiological data, educational materials, etc ... I was wondering that maybe we could have a Moose/Pharo team for this hackathon ? I could participated with two students from my team. We are involved with the design of a domain-specific language for epidemiology, called Kendrick: https://github.com/UMMISCO/Kendrick You have already seen the visualisations that we already done like the following one: https://www.facebook.com/ObjectProfile/photos/a.341189379300999.82969.34054… https://www.facebook.com/ObjectProfile/photos/a.341189379300999.82969.34054… https://www.facebook.com/ObjectProfile/photos/a.341189379300999.82969.34054… Anyone interested ? -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/ _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev

We start this morning to work on Kendrick and Ebola models with Mai Anh. We have a list of issues here: https://github.com/UMMISCO/Kendrick/issues including visualisation issues. Apparently there is a missing countries in RTSVGPath>>Gambia. There is no Gambia country. The same for RTMapBuilder>>countriesPopulation there is no Gambia population. Thank you Alex.

Yeah… The SVG map description we have is very primitive and not accurate. It is useful for coarse information bit to be represented on a map. If now, if you need a stronger support for maps, then you should probably use the OpenStreetMap support. Let us know how your exact need. If you can still work with the missing Gambian country, then fine. If no, then I can push some more effort on the OpenStreemap.

Serge if you need to map regions you could convert SHP from Natural Earth Data importing layers in QGis, then use plugin SimpleSVG to export to SVG, and finally parse the SVG path with XMLDOMParser. Cheers, Hernán 2014-10-07 11:54 GMT-03:00 Serge Stinckwich <serge.stinckwich(a)gmail.com>om>:

At the moment, we don't need Gambia, so you could remove this country.

We are far from finished with Ebola outbreak.

I appreciate what you guys are doing but your efforts would be far more valuable with real threats like heart decease and cancer.

Yes, but we are working on epidemic modelling, so we are not concerned with issues like cancer and heart attack. Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Help fight Ebola by joining the Computing for Ebola Challenge http://bit.ly/1oEdBag

I'd add that an exponential is hard to see for most people. What looks small may indeed grow fast. Phil On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 2:20 PM, Serge Stinckwich <serge.stinckwich(a)gmail.com
