[Bigbang-dev] BigBang Spring at IETF 110 Hackathon

BIGBANG SPRINT AT IETF 110 HACKATHON
--------------------------------------------------------------

When: March 1-3, 2021

The BigBang project will be working on improving its tool for mailinglist
analysis at the IETF 110 Hackathon [1].

BigBang [2] is an open source research project that studies collaboration
and contention in digital infrastructure projects and governance
institutions. We do this by combining data science techniques with
qualitative methods. For example, with BigBang you can analyze
participation, affiliation, gender, and networks in the IETF, ICANN, RIPE,
IEEE, or the 3GPP.

We very much welcome both techncial and non-technical contributors! BigBang
is built on the scientific Python stack, and we use Jupyter notebooks to
make the analysis transparent and accessible.

To join the IETF 110 Hackathon, please register using the link from the
Hackathon websiote [3]. Registration is free!

We intend to work on (some of) the following issues during the hackathon:

    - Integration and analysis of 3GPP and IEEE mailing lists
    - Integration with the INDELab conversationkg tool [4]
    - Produce instructional videos
    - Improve linking across datasets (such as the datatracker and mailing
lists)
    - Query/notebook design to support projects from research community
    - Discussion of Star's boundary object vs. Luhmann's structural coupling
    - The operationalization of _your_ research question!

The BigBang project will have a one-hour team meeting Friday February 26 -
9:00 ET / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET before the Hackathon which all are welcome
to attend if they are curious about the project. You can join via this

Please don't hesitate to write Seb (sbenthall at gmail.com) if you have any
questions about the BigBang project or the IETF 110 sprint, or if you have
suggestions for research questions!
