- Target journalists (maybe CSOs / people who work on advocacy issues, depending on similarity of wishes to journalists) who have some experience in working with data.
- Create contextualised resources, specific to journalists needs (adapt datasets and examples)
- Languages: French, Spanish, German, English
- Material should be modular, so it can be reused
- Material should be focused on self learning (possibly also usable in workshops)
- We want to reuse existing material/infrastructure, if possible
- First section of material should convince journalists to use R (low entry barriers, no installations at first)
- Test the material in workshops (in different countries around the world)
Before next call (end of January):
- Samuel / Joel: Check out existing material (https://rddj.info/, datactivist, Joel => mapping capabilities)
- Camila / David / Joel: What do DDJs need?
- Heidi: Costs, what do we need money for?
- David: Timeline for material creation
- Joel : check out possible forms of the material: RStudio instance (cost) / datacamp light; consider limited internet access in some countries (avoid heavy files and need of staying connected for developing countries)
