BrainWeb. A permanent place for hacking together.
Team: Katja, Roberto, Anibal, Remi, Isil, Austin, Sofie project lead: katja
Timezone: UTC+2 (Paris, France)
Hub: Europe, Middle East and Africa
Description:
In a team effort across continents, we recently created the BrainWeb, a permanent virtual space for online collaborations on projects related to neuroscience. It has built so quickly a large community of >200 members, that this is the current community graph: https://brain-web.github.io/community/![BrainWeb_communityGraph](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6297454/84762835-9c140100-afcb-11ea-9667-3ee8b87633a9.png)
We also have a a projects page
![BrainWeb_projects](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brain-web/gazette/master/img/BrainWebGazette001.jpg)
And we now also host our own BrainWeb-jitsi for community calls, where we can send love β€οΈ and brains π§ , rockets π and more love π .
Now how can we improve the BrainWeb? During this Hackathon, we would like to
1 add the possibility to filter the community graph by skills, so that we can easily find people to collaborate with β either based on shared interests or to add skills to our team that we are lacking
2 add all BrainWeb videoconference rooms in a sidebar on the page, and indicators of occupancy for all of them, like a green dot if there's someone in
3 add a posters room. The problem: How to improve the online poster room experience? How can we approach the stuff we miss from real poster rooms? Which are the new things we can have in a virtual, permanent, poster room? @katja showed a possibility that would be fun to explore, hacking MicroDraw.
4 by embedding jitsi in our videoconference tab, we have access to a shared data channel. We are currently using it to send emojis, but this is just a tiny starting point. We could use the data channel to synchronise quite sophisticated shared experiences! For example, a presenter could share a 3D brain (cf @dr.alecrimi)
If you'd love to work with us on the BrainWeb, join us on Mattermost ~brainweb, and find our GitHub repo here.
Looking forward to hacking with all of you! π β€οΈ
