Hi all, This hackathon might be of interest to researchers working on digital infrastructure and technology governance. Kind regards, -- Corinne Cath - Speth Ph.D. Candidate, Oxford Internet Institute & Alan Turing Institute Web: www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/corinne-cath Email: ccath@turing.ac.uk & corinnecath@gmail.com Twitter: @C_CS ----------------------------------------------------------- When: March 1-3, 2021 The BigBang project will be working on improving its tool for mailinglist analysis at the IETF 110 Hackathon [1]. BigBang [2] is an open source research project that studies collaboration and contention in digital infrastructure projects and governance institutions. We do this by combining data science techniques with qualitative methods. For example, with BigBang you can analyze participation, affiliation, gender, and networks in the IETF, ICANN, RIPE, IEEE, or the 3GPP. We very much welcome both technicial and non-technical contributors! BigBang is built on the scientific Python stack, and we use Jupyter notebooks to make the analysis transparent and accessible. To join the IETF 110 Hackathon, please register using the link from the Hackathon website [3]. Registration is free! We intend to work on (some of) the following issues during the hackathon: - Integration and analysis of 3GPP and IEEE mailing lists - Integration with the INDELab conversationkg tool [4] - Produce instructional videos - Improve linking across datasets (such as the datatracker and mailing lists) - Query/notebook design to support projects from research community - Discussion of Star's boundary object vs. Luhmann's structural coupling - The operationalization of _your_ research question! The BigBang project will have a one-hour team meeting Friday February 26 - 9:00 ET / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET before the Hackathon which all are welcome to attend if they are curious about the project. You can join via this link: https://uva-live.zoom.us/s/6365963924 Please don't hesitate to write Seb (sbenthall@gmail.com) if you have any questions about the BigBang project or the IETF 110 sprint, or if you have suggestions for research questions!
