List the teachers who could be running the pilot courses

[apoikola]

Figure out and list the teachers one could try be in contact with. Aim is to find at least two who would be willing to run the pilot courses this year.

• (according to Antti : ) University of Turku IT department + Geography department: contact soon Niina Käyhkö http://users.utu.fi/nivuore/
• Promising according to his facebook comments on the FB open science thread : Jukka Huhtamäki - http://www.linkedin.com/in/jukkahuhtamaki - Researcher, project manager at TUT/Intelligent Information Systems Laboratory . Jukka mentioned he's historically had some collaborations with the journalism students at UTA, and that the School of Data could be a continuation of this. A bit more possibly relevant bits about Jukka from his LinkedIn profile: "Jukka's research interests include visual social media analytics, methods of streamlining social network visualisation and information visualisation, user and information modeling, and the development methods and implementation technologies of social, adaptive, and distributed hypermedia. Currently, Jukka is working to develop data-driven visual analysis processes for insights on, for example, social media usage and innovation diffusion."

Ok, it looks like some people are beginning to show interest.

Should we look a little closer at doing a more detailed course outlined, or might we want to look at strategies for possible contacts with interested parties?

( ps. Though of course github is a great place to talk, I'll just mention that i'm 'mknapek' on skype. ) (Another ps is that I'm coming to Helsinki on the 27th, for a meeting, if there's a need to meet physically. The following week should also see me in Helsinki ).

Github is maybe best for keeping track of to-do's and more even if those are related to some material that we actually keep here in the repository. Lengthy discussion is better in Skype or elsewhere.

Anyhow I suggest that @spqs is the main contact towards potential teachers (I just made some sales work today while in Turku) and we don't need long list, it's enough that we have couple who actually will run the pilot and possibly few more who could be giving valuable insight during the process.

I suppose that this task can be closed if Sami establishes somewhere a Datakoulu -contact list and starts updating the contacts there.

Same here, I prefer skype for more extensive talking.

So far two potential ones. I will be in contact with Niina and Jukka + some others who expressed interest last year. This item can be closed.
