Reprised my role as very-stressed-person and just about pulled off another successful week with around 100 students including (!!) business and design students; smartdatahack.org.
Smart Data Hack
☑ Attending!
I'm again helping to organise the University of Edinburgh Smart Data Hack, which is happening next week, 16th - 20th February. It's an event for undergraduates during the university's Innovative Learning Week, during which they get to learn loads of stuff they wouldn't normally see in class, hack around with datasets from various sponsors and supporters, eat tons of free food and hopefully win prizes.
If you're interested in getting involved, check out the Smart Data Hack website...

Indiewebcamp Edinburgh
☑ Attending!
Along with James and Harry, I'm organising an indiewebcamp here in Edinburgh! Indiewebcamp is a 2-day unconference-style event, with lots of hacking, and support to help you take ownership of your social data and launch your own website which can interoperate with other people's, as well as with social silos like twitter.
Planning is in early stages, but we've settled on 25/26th July and Skyscanner have offered us their office as a venue, but this is to be confirmed.
We're (naturally) looking for sponsorship for lunches: if you're part of a tech company who would like to help out, we'd love to hear from you! You can find out more about sponsoring IWC events here.
Keep an eye on the event wiki page) for more details; you can register your interest or contribute to planning and brainstorming there too.

Helped to organise the local centre, recruited participants in the run up; we got teams through to the semi-finals this time! The Festival of Code was in Plymouth this year, so most of our participants couldn't make the trip; organised a mini-alternative with Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen centres, in Dundee instead.

Tried backing away for this year's SDH; co-opted some undergrad minions to delegate to, and handed off the website to CompSoc. Still ended up doing quite a lot, but managed to salvage enough time to also write a paper in the run-up, so delegation: successful.

Dropped the ball on my PhD for months to wrangle sponsors, set up the website, recruit participants and generally get shit together. It went well, with feedback from students like "easily the most useful and fun week I've had since I started uni".
