INFO 290T: Working with Open Data

For those of you planning to come to the meeting, note the change to 107 South Hall.

We have a time and place set for the follow up meeting with Fernando Perez and Min Ragan-Kelley: Wednesday, May 15 3-4pm in 205 South Hall.

Just to be clear -- participation in this meeting is not a requirement of the course. It will be just a wonderful opportunity to learn more about IPython with two of the most knowledgeable people around about IPython!

Hi everyone,

I'm very happy with the work that you guys did on your projects. Fernando Perez was also very impressed wants to work with us to highlight the work we've done to the larger community. I'm gathering up pointers to your work, starting with what's contained in https://docs.google.com/a/berkeley.edu/document/d/1ZMZcai8k5YA-_re_ZWhdQFwTk0xmTbQP0UIaDlb72lE/edit#heading=h.fcxp78qp0qz . Some of you have work in private repositories; if you'd like to make your work public, do so and include a reference in your project section under project abstracts. I'll take what I have by next Wednesday 5/15 at 9am.

Also, Fernando and his group would like to meet with us to show us tips on how we could take our work to the next level in the IPython notebook context. We're tentatively looking at setting up a 1-2 hour meeting the afternoon of Wednesday May 15. Let me know if any of you would like to participate!

Although I've talked about what I'm looking for in class, it seems like there is still some confusion about what we have happening this week and next and what I'm expecting.

Tomorrow and Thursday, we have in-class presentations. Next week on Tuesday May 7, we have an open house/poster sessions. So you'll be presenting before you necessarily have everything done.

Here's what I'm looking for in terms of the in class presentations:

Here's a schedule for the presentations:

Here are framing questions we'll use for the Q&A time for each project:

Here's what I'm looking for in the final project notebook:

http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/rdhyee/working-open-data/blob/master/lectures/day27.html#(5)

Ideally, I'd like to have the notebooks in more or less final form by Monday, May 6 at noon
(http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/rdhyee/working-open-data/blob/master/lectures/day25.html#(4)) -- but you can keep editing it until the beginning of our open house on May 7.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for everyone who has put up abstracts for their projects. I'm still waiting for 2 project abstracts.

Also: I didn't make super-clear that in the abstracts that I'm looking also for 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.)

I updated this request in the slides....

Once I get all the abstracts together, I'll put out an invitation that we can use.

If you want to make a PiCloud notebook visible to me, you need to make
it public. Go to

https://www.picloud.com/accounts/bucket/#/?curr_loc=notebook/

and click on "make public" for the notebook in question. Then you can
copy the resultant link and feed that link to nbviewer.ipython.org.

For example,
one of my notebooks is available from

https://pi-user-buckets.s3.amazonaws.com/bKkRFJzc0CNIRAkhn6P50MHLmNEqry24er6MOcOI/notebook/Day_21_CommonCrawl_Starter.ipynb

and the corresponding nbviewer link is:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/pi-user-buckets.s3.amazonaws.com/bKkRFJzc0CNIRAkhn6P50MHLmNEqry24er6MOcOI/notebook/Day_21_CommonCrawl_Starter.ipynb

The teaching staff has posted a new general resource.
