Re: [Air-L] Non-software uses of GitHub
Hey Jim, Open Source Publishing, a group that came out of Constant, a Brussels based arts collective, have been researching and using versioning systems in graphic design/typography. http://strabic.fr/OSP-Visual-Culture In case you don’t speak French, this video is in English: https://vimeo.com/107907361 OSP has specifically focused on what it means to use versioning systems for collaborative work on images rather than on text/code. They use git, and not github, due to problems with licensing in the latter. Also see: Libra Graphics Research Unit where much of this experimentation started. http://www.constantvzw.org/site/-Libre-Graphics-Research-Unit-.html Looking forward to see what you compile. s.
I know of a number of libraries that use it for internal documentation of policies and procedures. On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 9:56 AM, Seda Guerses <sguerses@esat.kuleuven.be> wrote:

*DB.nomics <http://db.nomics.world/>* uses GitLab (open-source, self-hosted alternative to GitHub) to store and manage *macroeconomic data*. Scripts <https://git.nomics.world/dbnomics-fetchers> download datasets from sources (IMF, World Bank, etc., more than 50 providers are planned) which are stored into repositories <https://git.nomics.world/dbnomics-source-data>, then converted into JSON and CSV files <https://git.nomics.world/dbnomics-json-data>, then indexed and published via the API to the free public website (new UI in development <https://next.nomics.world/>). As far as I know this is the first time Git is used as a system to store and manage as much volume for an open data project. The Datahub Core Data <http://datahub.io/docs/core-data> project is similar, using GitHub <https://github.com/datasets/>, but with less volume. On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 7:13 PM, Edward M.
