Data Kitchen: A data visualization project powered by Pharo. Feedback welcomed.

Hi,

In my effort to more create more meaningful computer mediated
experiences for me and other and to use Pharo as a medium for that I
have proposed the following project:

---

- Name: Data Kitchen: Frictionless data, moldable tools, pocket
infrastructures & permanent workshops for community empowerment
- url:
https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/data/entries/data-kitchen-frictionless-data-moldable-tools-pocket-infrastructures-permanent-workshops-for-community-empowerment

---

It combines the ideas of moldable tools, agile visualization in this
community with some of other like frictionless data, by Open Knowledge
Foundation and what I call "pocket infrastructures". Any feedback is
welcomed. You can make it here in this list, but if you can made it on
their platform, from a simple "heart" (+1) or drop me a line, it would
be greatly appreciated and it will help to make more visible the project.

Thanks,

Offray

My lab is working with developing countries (including south-america)
and we could exchange some private emails on how to sustain such a
project.
I'm interested by such tool in the context of health and/or crisis
issues for example.

Yes. That is the case here. Even is cities like Bogotá (Colombia),
connectivity can be a pain in the arse. Having p2p or pocket solutions
that can work off-line and then sync and be ran from a usb thumdrive is
a context sensitive case. As I said in the call, most of the data
visualization solutions have complicated, web based, multilayered
infrastructures, while Pharo is a medium that goes the other way around:
light, understandable, self contained. Hopefully we will made a case for
a more diverse data visualization ecosystem that explore the opposite of
the current data trend (big data, web based tools).

I plan to show more examples, the first related with political activism
and twitter, and the second one (at the end of the call) on medicine
information published by government agencies. We have worked on Open and
community innovation in health issues. A draft document (wrote entirely
on grafoscopio) on this experience can be found, in Spanish, on [1].
There I talk about digital infrastructures that support open/community
innovation in health and specifically on data narratives and
visualization (and even talk about IPython and grafoscopio).

So yes, I'm pretty interested in such talk and I have a shared interest
with health information. Lets continue in private. Just give me these 6
days until News Challenge call is over (any help sharing the link at [2]
meanwhile and with feedback is really appreciated).

I did my bit!

Give your heart guys! It takes 2 minutes.

+1 (please share your love, only 2 minutes).

BTW, I answered your comment. From yesterday to today the project went from almost 300 views to almost 500. Still away from views leaders, but nice to know this communities (Moose, Pharo, OKNF) can be so responsive.

Cheers,

Offray
