Hi All! I actually just spoke to one of the organizers of this conference, who asked me if Wikipedia would be interested in speaking at the summit about a case study of data visualization. I personally love presenting and wish our team was far enough along the path of visualization that I could do it...but, we're not there yet :) Does anyone else have an interest in presenting? If so, I can send some more information. If you are a presenter, the $2K registration fee is waived. I'm also pushing for a nonprofit discount for non-presenters, and she acted like that was entirely possible and is going to get back to me. ALSO - there is another summit happening simultaneously to this one called the "Big Data Innovation Summit." This is the computer science side, while the data visualization summit is focused on the creative. This might be of more interest to many of you. http://theiegroup.com/DataVisualizationSF-Brochure.pdf Jessie On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 1:38 AM, Erik Zachte &lt;ezachte(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: -- *Jessie Wild Learning & Evaluation * *Wikimedia Foundation* * * Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Aside from Limn I cannot think of any other visualization project at WMF. Could we use this opportunity to pitch data sources that we're already publishing along with examples of third-party visualizations of this data? On Jan 10, 2013, at 9:50 AM, Jessie Wild &lt;jwild(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote:

There are some: http://tinyurl.com/ylnrpwb http://tinyurl.com/3pmm95x In fact I got an invite to talk at the conference. But I am a totally hopeless public speaker, so I declined. For inspiration on 3rd party viz, see http://infodisiac.com/Wikimedia/Visualizations/ I loved the talk Jen Lowe gave after winning WikiViz 2011 visualization contest Erik From: analytics-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:analytics-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Dario Taraborelli Sent: Friday, January 11, 2013 12:22 AM To: A mailing list for the Analytics Team at WMF and everybody who has an interest in Wikipedia and analytics.
