Please submit proposals that focus on "Open Data". For the purposes of this devroom, if your talk is focused at a specific dataset, it must be openly accessible and usable by anyone for any purpose. Talks that are about the open-data tooling are welcome as well, such as about Data journalism, or tools like datasette for example. Research that quantifies the impact of open-data is welcome. For any talk that focuses on software, the software must be published under a FOSS license.
Note: that this is not a Big Data devroom - your dataset could be small and impactful. We are also eager to hear from AI researchers wanting to talk about open datasets being used for their work.
Approximate order of preference for proposals (first is highest preference)
* - Talks about generic data tooling (such as postgres, or hadoop) will be considered out of scope. This is somewhat subjective, but we will do our best.
We are mainly looking for 25 minute long talks, and 10 minute long flash talks. Current tentative plan is to host 4x25 minute talks, and 5x10 minute lightning talks. Note that while the CFP form says 15 minute lightning talks, we’d prefer to have more crisp talks, so plan accordingly.
