Civic Tech, data activism and grassroots innovation for upcoming Colombian elections (Pharo/GToolkit powered)
Hi all,
We have been working pretty hard lately to create data visualizations
from the Twitter discourse of the candidates to the upcoming Colombian
presidential elections. It's is an innovative approach combining live
coding, reproducible research and data activism, narratives and
visualizations. As usual, we try to simplify infrastructure to
amplify/diversify participation.
To produce our infographics we're using Roassal3 (except for the word
cloud, because aesthetics reasons), RSS-Tools, XMLHtml parsers, ReStore
and Mustache, among others.

We will be sharing more about this project and its behind scenes in the
upcoming weeks. If you're instered, you can follow the hashtag

Retweets are welcomed and pretty appreciated.

Hello Offray,
This is s super nice work and also very important for the democracy.
Is the code open source? I am particularly interested in the Roassal3 part. If possible, could you share all the Roassal3 code: how you create the sheets, the classes, the process between obtaining the data from an api, etc...
Thank you in advance,
Sebastian Jordan

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for your words. We hope this project, even in alpha status, may
showcase the potential that live coding and malleable systems have to
empower new citizenship practices, starting from the elections and from
there on, making sense of complex public data and elected/public officials.
Regarding your questions, the code for Socialmetrica, our social media
sense making project, is open source and you'll find it in [1] including
the Roassal snippets and code for data acquisition, processing and
storage. You'll notice we use Nitter[1a] unofficial API instead of
Twitter one, because of all the bureaacracy and indifference we have
experience from Twitter when trying to access its data. Also you will
see that the sheets where made with LaTeX templates + Mustache injecting
data from our domain objects into the LaTeX report, including Roassal3
png exports. Documentation is still in draft mode and mainly in Spanish,
but we hope to publish some in the upcoming weeks.

Hope this helps and let us know if you have more questions regarding our
code.
