<p>Hi,</p>
<p>In our last meeting in Cartagena, I mentioned "pocket
infrastructures" for data activism. We have been working on them
and in building a community around. Below is an announcement of
our most recent stuff.</p>
<p>=================<br>
</p>
<p>Recently, in our local hackerspace[0], we used, extended and
adapted, Grafoscopio[1] to recreate the first open source version
of the Data Journalism Handbook[2], in Spanish in several formats:
PDF, Markdown, native notebook (STON). Quoting from the project
page:<br>
<br>
There are some interesting Free Cultural Works which are not
open sourced.<br>
This means that, they are covered under pretty liberal
licenses,<br>
allowing their remix, sale and modification, but the
infrastructures<br>
which support the creation, modification and publishing of
such works,<br>
don’t allow wide participation and deep traceability of their
history of<br>
such collective endeavors.<br>
<br>
This is our approach about alternative ways for creating such
works,<br>
addressing the above problem, using the Data Journalism
Handbook as an<br>
example (English, Spanish) and *pocket infrastructures*, which
are simple, self <br>
contained, and work well on-line and off-line, like Fossil and
Grafoscopio<br>
Also we extended and adapted Grafoscopio, during this project,<br>
to make the tool suit the problem (and not the usual other way
around).<br>
<br>
