Robarts Library, University of Toronto3-5 March 2016Travel grants available for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and contingent facultyApplications due 4 December 2015While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. This hackathon presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis.This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community.Pour plus d'informations Organizers: Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo), Nathalie Casemajor (Université du Québec en Outaouais), Jimmy Lin (University of Waterloo), Matthew Weber (Rutgers University), Nicholas Worby (University of Toronto)
