Framing Page for WEAVE Session NNIP Portland 2012

 4:00–5:30 – Thursday afternoon

The Open Indicators Consortium (OIC) is a multi-stakeholder partnership in the development of the open source platform Weave in collaboration with the Institute for Visualization and Perception Research at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The OIC aims to spur the democratization and use of high quality data and data-driven problem-solving within and across neighborhoods, municipalities, sectors, states, regions and nations. To learn more about Weave, check out the OIC web site at www.oicweave.org and its wiki (http://bugs.oicweave.org/projects/weave/wiki ), email Jim Farnam at [email protected].

Jim Farnam will start with a brief OIC overview and observations about how the OIC community of practice has evolved, and take questions from partners about the overall project. (20 minutes total). Then, partners will share how they are using Weave locally to build community capacity and support their initiatives.
