“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,

committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever

has.”--Margaret Mead

I Study Small GroupsI use electronic trace data, interviews, field notes, electronic content & surveys for raw data

Page 5: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” --Margaret Mead

Coolest Open* Data to Me Group’s Emerging & Evolving

Group Formation & Development

The long tail of social computing, which I describe as everything *except* Wikipedia & Facebook

Groups constructing knowledge, creating information and forming identity.

*Available, but not always easy to get in an analyzable form

Coordination Requirements & Dependencies

MyLyn Data Has 2 Advantages for Analysis compared to source Control systems analysis:1. You see files *viewed*

together2. Discourse on a Bug is

directly connected to the files read and edited1. Closer connection

between analysis of work & talk.

Our next step is piecing together a narrative about the groups that emerged on this project, and describing each of the individuals. This is all open data. When we finish this part, we will publish one or more papers. For now, Let’s look at the cool “R Stuff”
