[Ncr-Python.in] Hack4change as a part of 16 days of activism
by Noopur Nov. 30, 2013

Nov. 30, 2013

Dear all, *Breakthrough*, a global human rights organisation that runs campaigns such as Bell Bajao (Ring the Bell), is organising a Wikipedia edit-a-thon for creating and expanding articles on violence against women on Sunday, December 8, 2013 at Delhi. Deets: http://hack4changedelhi.wordpress.com/ I am writing to you to share more about the hackathon that we at Breakthrough are planning to organise a hackathon on the theme of violence against women. We'll be calling people from various backgrounds including journalists, developers, researchers, storytellers, activists and other members of civil society to take part in this event. Participants will be divided into different groups and they'll work on different projects. We encourage remote participation as a mark of solidarity and an effort to expand the movement! Along with data visualisations, we also are planning a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. I will be leading the Wikipedia edit-a-thon. Here's the Idea behind this session: A crucial problem with several Wikipedia articles on sexual violence incidents (especially in the Indian context) is that often there are no articles (or articles have been deleted) and also articles that match encyclopedic standards but fail to articulate the politics of writing about sexual violence itself. These articles may also not use vocabulary that represents rape survivors without victimizing them. This session proposes to make the act of editing Wikipedia a political one, therefore reclaiming it as a tool to fight violence, slut shaming and gender stereotyping. There is also a hackathon running parallel where we hope to build tools or customize them in the direction of women's safety! Hope you will join us in it :) Best, Noopur -- Noopur Raval Student Arts and Aesthetics Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi

[Ncr-Python.in] Plotly: Python Graphing and Analytics Library
by Matt Sundquist Nov. 21, 2013

Nov. 21, 2013

Hey Python folks, Happy Wednesday! I wanted to reach out and let you know about the beta launch of Plotly. Plot.ly <https://plot.ly/> is a graphing and analytics project that lets you style interactive, web-based graphs with Python or the GUI. You can also use Plotly to collaborate, sharing graphs, data, and projects with others. We just put up an IPython demo <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/7521519> (video here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG8FYPFU9n4>) that I thought I'd pass along, and we'd like to put up more examples from our API gallery<http://plot.ly/api/python> as well (where you can also get installation instructions and documentation). And, I'm including a gallery shot below. We just launched, so getting feedback from expert users like you all is much appreciated. We'd love to hear your thoughts and reactions, and if you have any feedback, to hear what you think. Thanks so much, Matt [image: Inline image 1]
