OpenTeams

OpenTeams is an open source suite for visualizing team data.

You can try a demo and see a description of its features at openteam.info.

OpenTeams was developed by Jingxian Zhang as part of her Master thesis at the Collective Learning group at the MIT Media Lab, under the supervision of Professor Cesar A. Hidalgo. In addition to the work of Jingxian Zhang, OpenTeams includes the work of Xiaojiao Chen and Diana Orghian, who contributed to OpenTeams by helping, respectively, with graphic design and social psychology expertise.

OpenTeams builds on work done in the Immersion project, a platform to visualize individual email metadata created also at the Collective Learning group by graduate students Daniel Smilkov and Deepak Jagdish, following the original idea and supervision of Professor Cesar A. Hidalgo.

You can use this repository to install your own private version of open teams in a local server.

Run ./teams-startup.sh to start the project.

1. client_id and client_secret in dev/newserver/client_secrets.json
