Non-technical resources

  • CommunityData:Logos — Like our visual branding, not like λόγος. Although we should always make sure we're good in that department too.
  • CommunityData:Advice on writing a background section to an academic paper — Once upon a time, Mako and Aaron submitted a paper with a mediocre introduction to a journal. Mac Parks, the editor of that journal at the time, set us straight with some very clear pointers. Save yourself the trouble and learn to follow these today!

A number of us are idling in #communitydata on OFTC (irc.oftc.net). If you're not familiar with IRC, ask someone else in the group and they can try to get you started.
