Visual representation is a time-tested way of making large, complex bodies of information manageable – whether in the form of maps, timelines, graphs, or charts. Emerging digital technologies have revolutionised what is possible in this domain.
This is an informal, hands-on workshop for those who work with, or are interested in, open-source visualisation technologies, whether based on the web or on the desktop, whether for data or other kinds of knowledge.
The event should be a good opportunity for people new to this area to learn a bit more about the range of open source visualisation software packages that are out there - and for open source visualisation veterans to showcase their work and to exchange their experiences.
This time we hope to get stuck into to tinkering around with several software packages, and possibly start work on a new project visualising some open material. If you are interested in participating, please add your name to the wiki page. Attendance is free!
