It is lovely to be hosted again by CORRECT!V for this autumnal edition of #hhber, and fantastically the warm decor matches the falling leaves.

We will get cosy for a number of fabulous topics and speakers;

Jens Ohlig will be talking about Wikidata. Wikidata is a knowledge base for structured data that can be edited by people and machines alike. It serves as a central data repository for Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia. Initially developed by a team at Wikimedia Deutschland, the open source Wikidata project recently celebrated its second anniversary and received the 2014 Open Data Publisher Award from the Open Data Institute for "high publishing standards and use of challenging data“.

Jacopo Ottaviani will be taking up the complex topic of migration with Generation E. Generation E is the first cross border data journalism project on youth south-european migration.Four journalists from Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal ran a coordinated data investigation and a crowdsourcing campaign to collect stories of young migrants and are publishing them on multiple media in different languages.I’ll talk about the project, results, project management and philosophy behind it.

Stefan Candea will talk about the Investigative SmartGrid (http://ire.org/events-and-training/event/975/1417/): how to integrate in Eastern Europe investigative journalism (https://www.crji.org/) at source,regional (http://www.theblacksea.eu/) platforms and a laboratory experimenting (http://www.thesponge.eu/) with prototypes for journalism . What works and what doesn’t & some concrete projects. He will reflect on cross-border networks for investigative journalism, the topic of his current PhD research.

Daniel Drepper will talk a little about a new fellowship opportunity which is a collaboration between CORRECT!V and Rudolf-Augstein-Stiftung. The two-month fellowship is focussed on investigative data-journalism and is based in Berlin. The first deadline to apply is December 15 so we can answer all questions at #hhber right in time.

Daniel Gona will talk about design thinking, hopefully answering all of the questions you had about this cool new thing. Are you really interested in design thinking? Would you attend a workshop in the new year on design thinking? Tell us!

Philo van Kemenade combines video, data and the web to support engaging storytelling. His expertise in Artificial Intelligence and passion for filmmaking brought him to London, where he has researched data-driven storytelling using user-generated online video as its building blocks. Philo is initiator of Popathon (http://popathon.org/), an international series of hackathon events to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration in the field of web-native storytelling. In his talk he will share the story of how Popathon started and show examples of the stories that have come out of the hackathons.

We have increased our organising team and we would like to introduce you to Stefan Wehrmeyer and Sebastian Horn, who will join Annabel Church, Lucy Chambers and Sascha Venohr in bringing you our Hacks/Hackers evenings.

If you think you know some great speakers we should talk to or topics we need to cover please do let us know.

Looking forward meeting you!
