Thanks for your help thinking about data!
Last week we had a great brainstorming session about open data. The results of that session made their way into a “concerns” file. Also, check out the winners of the hackathon – you helped them!
Carry on in Dav’s absence
Tomorrow, I will be attending a workshop on Buddhism and Science. So, I won’t make the Worker’s party. However, the Python Workers’ Party is not about me, so you are welcome to come hang out in the D-Lab from 4-6 anyway.
In particular, there is a fancy Blum center tour around campus that will be hitting the convening room at 5:25 and 5:45. But, the invite list is now closed.
But, you’re special, because you already have a reason to be in that space! However, we should relocate the hacking out to the public space (the collaboratory) instead of the classroom (“convening room”) that we normally use.
Jobs
I met a fella looking to hire a python programmer for reciprocity labs. Reciprocity labs sounds AWESOME. It’s like literate computing (think IPython notebooks) for corporate governance and risk management (i.e., good citizenship). Worried that companies like Google are spying (or just helping the NSA spy) on the nation? These are the guys that are engineering solutions that can help us be sure that DOESN’T happen.
