How to survive, and thrive, in the murky depths of any Portal

We are going to have a presentation from Oleg Lavrovsky, one of the founders of the Swiss Open Data community, organizer of hackspaces and hackathons, and freelance coder. He will share ten tips for encouraging throngs of hacktivists to boldly venture into the darkness of inscrutability; armed only with a principle, some plugins, and a notebook.

It's time for CKAN Monthly Live! In this talk, we are going to have Oleg Lavrovsky, one of the founders of the Swiss Open Data community, organizer of hackspaces and hackathons, and freelance coder. He will share ten tips for encouraging throngs of hacktivists to boldly venture into the darkness of inscrutability; armed only with a principle, some plugins, and a notebook. (Hint: not all user journeys start at the landing page! 😋)

💡 Join this webinar to see:

  • How data portals powered by CKAN enable open Hackdays, Hacknights, Hackfests and Hackathons (and what the diff?). Oleg will demo tools like dribdat or hoppscotch that a broad range of data explorers use in their quests, and share a few pain points that may be slowing down the adoption of CKAN today. It will be fun!

💡 In his presentation Oleg will cover:

  • How to make CKAN hackable[]
  • Supporting & championing data (re)users
  • The role of data catalogs in the age of misinformation
