What: Hackathon I (reviews, summaries, showcases of work by R-Shief Labs, by OccupyResearch, by Fast Company, by Utrecht University) brought you visualizations of 13 million occupy tweets. People participated from Utrech, LA, Boston, NY, and Spain.
Hackathon II builds on the demos and tools from the first and turns our collaborative energy on visualizing the 5000+ responses to the OccupyResearch General Demographics and Participation Survey (ORGS), R-Shief Twitter #occupy tags aggregating since September 2011, and Occupy Oakland Serves the People face to face survey of 81 participants, 236 online survey respondent. This event is not only for hackers or coders, but for anyone interested. Bring your ideas, skills, creativity, questions and critical perspectives as we explore occupy datasets using free and open source tools and software. We’ll make connections from one place to another – open to all participants! The model is for people to arrange local venues for f2f meetups, work locally, and share/collaborate real time via skype/chat/twitter/google docs and etherpads, etc. If you can’t make it to one of the physical locations, you can join in remotely.
