SUMMARY:Data Vis Talks – Data Tools
LOCATION:Betahaus Café\, Prinzessinnenstraße 19-20\, 10969 Berlin
DESCRIPTION:New year\, new meetup! Ok\, don't worry\, we're still the same. You won't recognise us anymore because you haven't seen us for half a year\, but\, I mean\, that's our fault.\n\nThis time\, we want to talk about data vis tools – something most of use every single day and most of us have lots of questions about. Data vis beginners ask: What's the best tool to work with? What should I learn? And tool builder ask: What do users need? How should I prioritise the functionalities of my tool?\n\nWe will bring tool builders and users together. Show up\, have drinks\, meet data vis enthusiasts and look at some neat tools!\n\nThese are our speakers :\n\n-----------\n\nLars Grammel (@lgrammel (https://twitter.com/lgrammel)) is the Head of European R&D at Trifacta (https://www.trifacta.com/)\, a data wrangling startup. He holds a PhD in computer science\, specializing in information visualization. In his talk he will demo Trifacta and explain how it was designed to enable less technical users to explore\, transform\, clean and enrich data.\n\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/b/c/9/600_457603977.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nLisa Charlotte Rost (@lisacrost (https://twitter.com/lisacrost)) is in the last month of her Knight-Mozilla OpenNews at the NPR Visuals Team. During her fellowship\, she tried a few data vis apps (https://lisacharlotterost.github.io/2016/05/17/one-chart-tools/) and charting libraries (https://lisacharlotterost.github.io/2016/05/17/one-chart-code/) and developed some opinions about when to use which tool and for what (https://source.opennews.org/en-US/articles/what-i-learned-recreating-one-chart-using-24-tools/). She will shortly talk about her research.\n\nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/c/1/8/600_457604056.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nJonas Parnow (@zeto (https://twitter.com/zeto)) is working at Golden Section Graphics (http://golden-section-graphics.com/) in Berlin. While building graphics\, he likes to build tools that facilitate his and his team’s everyday life while wrangling data. In respect to Unix’ philosophy »Make each program do one thing well«\, he prefers these small apps to the bulky all-in-one solutions.\n\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/b/a/e/600_457612142.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nSebastian Sadowski (@ahoiin (https://twitter.com/ahoiin)) is a freelance data experience designer from Berlin. He is focused on crafting custom big data vis tools for clients such as the UN\, VW or his co-founded startup for professional football. He'll talk about building tools with clients in an agile way. Think scrum\, user stories\, user flow\, wireframing\, interactive prototyping\, pixel-perfect designs for dataviz.\n\nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/c/e/600_457628142.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nGregor Aisch (@driven_by_data (https://twitter.com/driven_by_data)) is a New York Times graphics editor. He is also part of a small startup that develops the charting and mapping tool Datawrapper (https://www.datawrapper.de/). At the meetup\, Gregor would love to discuss the future of open source data vis tools.\n\nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/4/4/c/600_457662060.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nBeni Buess (@benibu (https://twitter.com/benibu)) is developing graphics and infrastructure at Neue Zürcher Zeitung (https://www.nzz.ch). He will show us the toolbox Q that was launched one year ago in the newsroom (and written about for the first time by David Bauer a few days ago (https://medium.com/@davidbauer/why-newsrooms-need-storytelling-tools-and-what-weve-learned-building-them-87df4802b737#.3xkhzw2bp)) and talk about some challenges that were faced in this past year\, followed by a short outlook on the future of Q.\n\nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/6/c/2/600_457685826.jpeg\n\n-----------\n\nCome and join us on Wednesday at Betahaus!
