List of hackathons in Bristol, United Kingdom in 2017

Coders, designers, social and environmental activists in the west of England! You're invited to participate in Beyond Blockchain. Bristol Holochain Hackathon. You'll be challenged to design ad prototype an innovative distributed app solution that uses the next-gen Holochain platform for decentralised power structures.

Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. It’s the structured-sister to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and it provides a common place to gather and re-distribute data that can be reused by anyone. In this short event, we’ll be examining what it is possible to do with Wikidata - using Welsh political data as a springboard. Whether you are interested in building an application, doing some analysis or just experimenting this is for you. We are very grateful to Llyr Gruffydd Aelod Cynulliad / Assembly Member for sponsoring this workshop. The workshop will be divided into two parts: A brief introduction to Wikidata: cool tools and tricks for using it A hackathon to use, visualise and improve the data Join us if you’re interested in learning some new tricks or to find ways to understand how Wikidata can be useful to your work or your organisation. If you’re interested in political data, or have experience in visualising or building tools to work with data, come along! Instructions for attendees If you haven’t registered for Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project, please do so in advance – it takes only a few minutes and it’s completely free! Please, remember to bring your own laptop! Tablets and smartphones are not recommended – they make editing hard!  Lunch will be provided for all attendees, as well as refreshments throughout the day.  -------- Wicieiddio'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cronfa ddata agored ac am ddim i bawb ydy Wicidata, cronfa y gall peiriannau a phobl ei darllen. Chwaer-brosiect Wicidata ydy Wicipedia, y gwyddoniadur agored a rhydd y gall unrhyw un ei olygu, ac mae'r ddau brosiect yn gweithio ochr-yn-ochr, law-yn-llaw gyda'i gilydd. Yn y digwyddiad undydd hwn byddwn yn edrych ar botensial Wicidata a'r defnydd o ddata ar wleidyddiaeth Cymru. Efallai y gwyddoch am gronfa y carwch edrych arni drwy lygad Wicidata, neu efallai nad ydych yn gyfarwydd a Wicidata o gwbwl. Beth bynnag yw dyfnder eich gwybodaeth ohoni mae croeso i chi ymuno a ni. Bydd dwy ran: 1. cyflwyniad byr i Wicidata gan edrych ar rai o'r teclynau defnyddiol i archwilio a thrin y data. 2. hacathon ymarferol i wella'r data a'i chymhwyso ar gyfer Wicipedia a'r cyd-destun Cymreig. Ymunwch a ni! Efallai y gwelwch ei photensial ar gyfer eich sefydliad neu eich cwmni chi, fel y gwaneth y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol. Cyfarwyddiadau i aelodau Os nad oes gennych gyfrif Wicimedia yna byddai gwneud hynny cyn y cwrs yn beth da, ac yn arbed amser ar y diwrnod. Mewngofnodwch i'r Wicipedia Cymraeg, a dyna ni! Mae hynny yn gyfystyr a mewngofnodi i bob un o brosiectau Wicimedia! Dewch a gliniadur a rhyw fath o ID. Bydd cinio'n cael ei ddarparu i bawb, a lluniaeth drwy gydol y dydd - a phopeth am ddim!
