Data Bootcamp Ghana

Form October 24 to October 26 2012 the first Data Bootcamp happened in Ghana.

  1. The coming three days I'll be part of the #dbootcamp for data driven journalism in Accra, Ghana #ddj
  2. Journos empowered by tech, not just dreaming up a question over a beer. But Crowdsourcing questions now empowering the people. #dbootcamp
  3. Google even knows what is your relationship between the things around you #dbootcamp #Hyperlolal #Hyperpersonal
  4. You're yelling at the top of your voice on social media. Someone actually might be listening #layar #dbootcamp
  5. Data needs to be analysed after it's collected. #dbootcamp Top line analysis isn't enough.
  6. 7 Ghana datasets liberated 1st day of #dbootcamp already more than GH gov released since adopting #opendata Jan 2012 http://africaopendata.org/dataset?q=ghana
  7. Project ideas for the #dbootcamp are collected now. Interesting ideas ranging from mapping sanitation to anti-social engineering.
  8. And the destroyed power plug - #dbootcamp was sucking too much energy out the net. ow.ly/eJBiS
  9. Going through excel spreadsheet training to efficiently deal with figures, make comparisons and cases for public misappropriation #dbootcamp
  10. We are breaking complex data down to hyper personal levels that anyone can understand. #dbootcamp #opendata #datajournalism
