I hope this helps :)

sorry, I made a typo on a commit description

new deps:

  • promise (this probably will be necessary when using ES6)

  • promise (this probably will be unnecessary when using ES6)

  • validator

Looks great! By the way try to use git rebase next time to fix "bad" commit descriptions. Also I think it will be good if we fix/squash commits into 1 when submit a pull request since this way it is easier to roll back if something went wrong. But I'm going to merge it anyway.

carloscarcamo commented 8 years ago

Ok. I will be more careful next time and will be waiting for more updates and see in what else can I contribute :)

anvk commented 8 years ago

@carloscarcamo I merged my changes which move this project to webpack and ES6 (latest JavaScript). I think my next step is to move it to Redux from Flux but it should not effect things much at this point. Are you still interested in contributing? I have a list of things I can assign to you - some of them should be simple (I hope).

@anvk I'm very interested in contributing, you can assign me some tasks and I will try to help :) By the way, I would like to know from where or how do you get the Tweets database, is there any project which collect those tweets?

anvk commented 8 years ago

@carloscarcamo here is a tiny issue if you want to help https://github.com/JaredHawkins/TweetGeoViz/issues/50 Also you can try to build the page on your computer and let me know if it worked for you.

I was thinking to have a meeting next week in Slack to discuss our next step for the project development. Are you interested to join?

To answer your question: just like it is mentioned in the README file, this tweets sample is courtesy of HealthMap. @JaredHawkins who is the brain behind this project has access to HealthMap tweets, so he managed to get a sample set we can work with. But in theory you could create the data set yourself using any data from any sources you have.

carloscarcamo commented 8 years ago

@anvk, yes I'm interested to join in the Slack discussion, just tell me the day and hour :)

I asked about the tweets db because, we would like to use this project in another one to collect information about the use of open source projects around the world.

JaredHawkins commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

My apologies on the delay - I have been out of town at a conference and have had limited email access.

So glad this project is moving along. Thanks for your interest Carlos! I would be happy to chat. I can be available asynchronously on Slack this week, but if you want a dedicated time next week will be better.

As for the Tweets, I run about a dozen or so research projects using Twitter data here @ Boston Children’s Hospital. Everything is obtained via the free public API. The Tweets in this sample database are explicitly for this Mozilla project, however, and should not be used/referenced in any other projects.

Thanks!

-Jared

@JaredHawkins no problem. Right now we have a plan to iron out some of the known bugs and add newest tech to the project before we move along with new features. I think that next week will be better for me as well. If @carloscarcamo is avail too we can chat next week about our next steps.

I think I will have time, just tell me the day and hour...
