'LogOut' Cyber-Awareness-Campaign

We are planning for pan India campaign where we will reach out to maximum fellow Indians, our aim is to aware them about cyber security, what is privacy, cyber war, encryption, cyber-crime, how to prevent cyber-crime and cyber law. To reach the target of minimum 50,000 people we need army of awesome people who can spare some time to teach people and educate them about cyber security but we cannot reach everywhere so we need local support from local resident from every cities of India.

Code Is Science

My project aims to increase awareness of the importance of open source code in science - like all science, code too should be subject to peer review. I would like to conduct research into *why* code isn't treated as peer-reviewable science, and curate relevant resources from related open science/open source efforts. This would probably come in the form of interactive workshops and an online survey, with all results shared openly on the project website & hopefully published in scientific journals

This project is aimed to help pre-university gals/non-binary people considering a career in computer science/tech to acquire skills prior to them entering the university. Many girls do not enroll to computer science or similar undergraduate topics as they see this as a rather challenging enterprise and they often feel that they do not posses the basic skills to pursue such an effort.

Cut, Copy & Paste: Analog open source collaboration workshops

I want to give people the experience of working towards a creative goal (eg. an illustration, or zine) in an open source way - building upon an existing commons, collaborating with unknown others, and forking to their heart's content. No computers are used - just a photocopier, and the willingness to collaborate. Follow this project's progress on Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/cameralibre/cut-copy-and-paste. This project started with a collage workshop in 2016 and is a companion to my ongoing Open Source Animation project: https://gitlab.com/cameralibre/FragDenStaat-Animation

European CO2 market : an ETS scraper

Since the creation of the CO2 market, 10 years ago, the information about some 14.000 industrial installations in 31 countries is open stored on the web. But it is not reachable in open format (you have to click 3 times to get the information about one installation). The EU has an open data portal, but there, the information is delivered by sector, at a macro level. In order to have the granularity that would unable an analysis by enterprise, we need a scraper.

GODI For All

More Ghanaians have access to mobile telephony than regular electricity or waste sanitation, yet less than 1 in 6 have a reliable internet connection according to a 2016 World Bank report. This project will create a mobile-friendly awareness toolkit to educate the public about the Ghana Open Data Initiative (GODI) and how the information can be harnessed and enhanced to support economic and ICT development. The objective is to increase government transparency and the use of public information.

Journal Club Starter Kit

Preprint Journal Club Starter Kit is a project to develop resources to encourage the incorporation of preprints into journal clubs (JCs) at research institutions around the world. Preprints are free and immediately available versions of scientific manuscripts that have not yet undergone peer review. By encouraging the reading and evaluation of preprints among groups of scientists, we hope to increase the awareness, usage, and value of preprints, particularly in the biological sciences.

Make Works

Make Works is an open access platform to source local manufacturing. We are working to make local manufacturing openly accessible to everyone. The platform helps people to find manufacturers, material suppliers and workshop facilities in their local area - something of an open library for finding the means of production. To do this we map, visit, film, collect data and document factories in local areas, before making this information and content openly available online, for free.

Project Code for Community Change

The Sprout Fund helps projects and programs in the early stages of development—when just a small amount of investment has the potential to yield big results in the community. With nearly $7 million invested in more than 1,000 early-stage organizations, innovators, and activities, we’re interested in applying techniques from software documentation to help open source the “project code” for changing local communities.

Resources for Open Science in Astronomy (ROSA)

ROSA aims to compile and tailor open science best practices from around the web into a kit for astronomers to work openly from proposal to publication. ROSA will be written for use by all research levels but its mission is to supply a single resource to senior researchers to best equip them to encourage early career scientists to practice open access/data/source - in order to successfully mentor the next generation of open science practitioners we also need to target those who advise them.

Scientific computing for the terabyte-less

In short, we need an introduction lesson in scientific computing for people that do not need a cluster, do not need big data, and do not need to have super efficient distributed code. We need robust scientific computing for the masses, and the current training does not address this. I would like to develop this resource, by publishing a series of reproducible Jupyter notebooks highlighting the best practices.

This project is about adopting different ways to reinforce decentralization of the web by educating users, through fun and resourceful tools, puzzles and innovative kits, about what's been happening around the world and what we can do about it. The aim is to foster the next generation of Web creators and advocate for net neutrality, spread awareness about online harassment and other issues across communities.
