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. You can see more about this in this threads: [1] https://twitter.com/mutabit/status/1526272357425369094 [2] https://twitter.com/mutabit/status/1526235036458135553 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 https://twitter.com/hashtag/CandidatosEnDatos Retweets are welcomed and pretty appreciated. Cheers, Offray
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. [1] https://code.tupale.co/Offray/Socialmetrica/ [1a] https://nitter.42l.fr/about Hope this helps and let us know if you have more questions regarding our code.
