Although no dates have been set and plans might change, we have tentative plans to run another CDSW at some point in the second half of 2015 and likely during UW's fall quarter. If you'd like to attend to the CDSW either as a participant or as a volunteer mentor, please subscribe to our announcement email list. The list will get no traffic except for annoncements of an upcoming CDSW.
Welcome to the wiki for the Community Data Science Collective. It is open to the public and hackable by all but mostly contains information that will be useful to collective members, their collaborators, people enrolled in their projects, or people interested in building off of their work. If you're interested in making a change or creating content here, generally feel empowered to Be Bold. If things don't fit, somebody who watches this wiki will be in touch.

- Community Data Science Workshops — The Community Data Science Workshops (CDSW) are a series of workshops designed to introduce some of the basic tools of programming and analysis of data from online communities to absolute beginners. The CDSW have been held twice in Seattle in Spring and Fall 2014. So far, more than 30 people have volunteered their weekends to teach more than 130 people to program in Python, to build datasets from Web APIs, and to ask and answer questions using these data. We are currently running the third round in Spring 2015.
- COM597: Communication Leadership Class (COM597 "Programming and Data Science for Social Media") — A semester long course taughted by Benjamin Mako Hill that adapts and builds upon the CDSW curriculum to teach introductory programming and data science to absolute beginners in the context of the University of Washington's Communication Leadership program
