Samuel: OK France should a priori not take a fee. I asked for confirmation. If no answer within the next 24h, we should consider it agreed.
-> Transfer money to OK France, Heidi makes sure the money gets there
- First ideas in GitHub document.
- Data pipeline
- What content around R does exist (we can then sort it along the data pipeline)
- What are the key questions that matter for journalists: it's not just 'how to analyse data with R' but 'when do I use R in my workflow', 'how can I make R work with other tools used by my colleagues' etc.
- Make sure we ask journalists about their opinions along the way (Joel will give a talk at French R conference and presents our project there)
-> Heidi talks to Timo about what we can reuse from RDDJ website -> Camila adds the general learning objectives -> R users add details on how to achieve objectives
- Include a summary of the results from the previous survey
-> Camila sets up the blog post
Everyone likes it so far :) Comments still welcome. Heidi will send it out tomorrow.
OK France would receive it but take management fees (amount unclear).
-> Samuel will ask Pierre
What happens with cofounding of School of Data
-> Samuel will ask Cedric
Start with thinking about content now What R content do we teach in the course? What are interesting data bases for different countries (538 : https://github.com/rudeboybert/fivethirtyeight & https://github.com/fivethirtyeight/data)?
Gather somewhere (summer camp?) or work online?
Work at the same time -> 2 days working
Writing sprint (remote/online): 24.4. -- 28.4.
France, Switzerland - 17 h 00 CET
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso - 16 h 00 GMT
San Jose, Costa Rica - 10 h 00 CST
Until the end of the project: Quick calls at 17 h CET on tuesdays + update each other on slack
Everyone writes down the hours of work.
At the end we divide the budget by the number of hours worked in total and distribute accordingly.
-> Heidi and Samuel check if there are good tools to take time.
- Samuel / Joel: Check out existing material
- https://rddj.info
- Great but it's a catalogue
- Not everything is open licensed (ex. : R for Excel users book not open)
- We need to create tracks but which tracks (e.g. https://bento.io/), tracks are contextualised learning. Gives you an angle (for example R in the radio).
- Find angles that are relevant to journalists
- Examples are not specifically for journalists
- Usable
- Use other people's stuff, if there is already something

- Camila / David / Joel: What do DDJs need?

- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I_EgWyiLUpF9-RpF5hlJUFiXgy1Wsunj5KWFpu2qhtk/edit?usp=sharing
- Test workshop at Open Knowledge festival?
- David: Timeline for material creation
- Info about material needed
- Joel : check out possible forms of the material:
- RStudio instance (cost) / datacamp light;
- consider limited internet access in some countries (avoid heavy files and need of staying connected for developing countries)?
- Cedric : draft proposal
Send survey Summarize survey Update timeline -> update costs Check if wishes of journalists can be adhered already with existing material Which tracks are needed? Write the outline of the proposal (pinned stuff from Cedric)
Deadline : end of February
