<br><br>Hi All<div><br></div><div>There is interest in running a joint science/cultural heritage/humanities super-hackday on Tuesday 19 September. So everyone knows who is interested in joining, I've listed all the streams/activities I know of below.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Current space and capacity allocated to both streams are:</div><div>Aalto Pro (40+10+10)</div><div>Hack workshop 1 (20)</div><div>Therefore we can currently take 60 people. Hack workshop 2 and 4 (both 20) are currently to be allocated so we could try and reserve one/both depending on participant estimates.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cultural Heritage (Sam and Joris):</div><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">1. Wikimedia Edit-a-Thon -> a proposal by Wikmedia Finland. Unfortunately not heard back from them for a long time, probably because of holidays</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">2. Cultural heritage hack -> Here we present datasets from a number of Finnish cultural heritage institutions and probably also from outside of Finland to work with</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">3. Humanities hack -> This is part of our DM2E project where we let people work with the tools being developed in the project to semantically annotate documents. </div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">4. Video Workshop -> This was a proposal and has been added to the heritage stream. We are at the moment waiting for confirmation.</div>
</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
Open Science (Jenny and Laura):</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">1. General open science hack (Jenny) -> open-science list already invited, could get lots of remote participation with Open Science Federation followers</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">2. pyBOSSA/citizen cyberscience hack (Francois Grey) -> Creating apps to run on pyBOSSA. Daniel from pyBOSSA to be invited, could get participation from Brazil and Francois has lots of contact with Finnish physicists via CERN so could pull in several programmers.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">3. Louhos hack (<a href="http://louhos.github.com/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">louhos.github.com</a> - research-oriented software libraries for open data) (Leo) -> already participants for this one organised by Leo</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">4. Open Access academic press (Simon Worthington) -> more open humanities so would benefit from the link up :)</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13.333333969116211px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
Could everyone estimate how many people they would expect for their stream so we can work out if we need more space? Also, a quick Skype call about how we plan to run the day logistically would be handy as we approach a month to go! </div>
