Greetings friends and colleagues! What: Community Data Science Collective Open Lab When: Friday, October 14th, 3:30-5pm Where: Seattle, UW, CMU 306: Directions are here: https://wiki.communitydata.science/Community_Data_Science_Lab_(UW) It's been such a long time since we've had an in person event! If you're in the Seattle area, please join us Friday, October 14th, for an informal "open lab" at the University of Washington Community Data Science Collective (CDSC). Our CDSC colleagues from Purdue University and Northwestern University will be in town as well, so there's even more reason to come! The open lab is an opportunity to learn about our research and activities, connect with us about project ideas, catch up over snacks and beverages, and pick up a sticker or two. We will have no presentations but there will be several posters up describing projects we are working on. We study online communities and platforms: participation, governance, inequality, collaboration, learning, moderation, and organizing in places like Reddit, Wikipedia, Discord, Linux, gig work platforms, and more! You can learn a bit more about the CDSC here: https://wiki.communitydata.science/Main_Page Whether you can make it not, you can also sign up on our extremely low traffic community mailing list: https://communitydata.science/mailman3/postorius/lists/community.communityda... We look forward to seeing you on Friday! Regards, Mako, on behalf of the whole collective -- Benjamin Mako Hill https://mako.cc/academic/
