Hackathon 2:AM Conference

On October 7-8 the 2:AM Conference will take place at the same venue and will cover all topics relevant to altmetrics - the conference schedule is here. This hackathon on the day before the main conference is an unique opportunity to build cool prototypes using altmetrics tools and APIs, and to discuss relevant topics in a more informal setting.  We will set the program for the day in the morning, and will then work in small groups on a number of topics. While the focus of the hackday is on developing software, anyone can attend, and there will be an interesting program for those new to software development: Introduction to Altmetric.com (Stacy Konkiel) Hands-on session using the various services Altmetric.com offers. R for Bibliometrics (Najko Jahn and Martin Fenner) Introductory session learning to use the R statistical computing and graphics language to analyze bibliometrics data. There is room for 1-2 more sessions, please contact Martin Fenner if you are interested organizing one.
