Eric Kansa to speak on Thursday

  • Eric Kansa will be speaking to us on Thursday, April 25 about opencontext.org. In preparation for his talk, please read:

    Kansa, Eric (2012) Openness and archaeology's information ecosystem. World Archaeology 44(4): 498-520. Article Preprint

In Class Presentations Next Week

  • Next week, over 2 days, we will have in-class presentation of projects. See schedule.

  • We will have 15 minutes total/project -- 8 minutes of presentation + 7 minutes of Q&A/discussion.

  • BTW, schedule was produced by application of random.shuffle -- see calculation.

Project Abstracts and Open House

I will be advertising the Open House for the course at the end of this week. Please provide me a title and a short blurb (minimally, 75 words and not more 150 words) describing your project that I can use to advertise your work by Friday, April 26, 2013 at noon PDT. Include a URL that points to where people will be able to find your completed IPython notebook. Please get your notebooks in (more or less) final presentable form by Monday May 6, 2013 noon. (You can start with a placeholder notebook with your abstract.)

Place your project abstract at Abstracts section.

The Open House will be on

Tuesday, May 7 2-3:30pm

I'll be inviting people from the iSchool and the larger community. Feel free to invite your friends to attend. Light refreshments will be served.

BTW, you might get a kick out of a video of the Open House for Mixing and Remixing Information in 2008. and photos from 2006 MRI Open House. It should be a lot of fun!

Feedback on your IPython project notebooks

I'm looking for concrete code in IPython notebook. It's better to start with one specific data set with some analytical code from which you then expand than generalities about work you hope to accomplish. In other words, consolidate and present what you have and then work iteratively to improve that work. I love to see you accomplish big ambitious goal but I want you to work reach those goals as a series of concrete, probably modest steps.

Keep your section of http://bit.ly/wwod13projideas up-to-date --i.e, delete stuff that's no longer true.

Homework

  • Read Eric Kansa's paper.
  • Write abstract for projects.
  • Prepare for presentations next week.
  • Keep working on projects.
