qri.io ("query") is an open source peer-2-peer data collaboration tool. In the spirit of "do it with others" this workshop will engage participants to each develop their own dataset of citations they'd like to share such as books, online articles, and blog posts. Participants will then publish these datasets on the distributed web using qri, and from there we'll work together to combine the sum of these datasets into a collection of citations. We'll then render these datasets as web pages using traditional web technologies, making our collection of citations available to a broader audience, while also providing access to the raw data for others to build upon.
Type: workshop
Length: 1 Hour
Additional considerations: Ideally a maximum of 25-30 participants, with at least half having unix-based (mac or linux) laptop.
Session Objective
Show how modern peer-2-peer technologies can be used for community-driven data needs
Demonstrate tools that can leverage both "distributed" and "regular" web technologies at once
Give a real-world example of re-thinking our relationship with data
Material and Technical Requirements
Projector / Large Screen
Participants will need to bring unix-based laptops
Interested in attending the sprint July 16-18: Y
Interested in a community billet: N
