Driven By Data
Dribdat (from "driven by data") is a set of open source tools, such as a playful ideation and challenge board, to help run short sprints, creative jams, hackdays and awesome hackathons based on open data standards.
See our roadmap and sign up for the beta 🔜 EveryHack.day
Purpose
Built around Web-friendly standards like Schema.org and Frictionless Data, Dribdat is an MIT licensed project in an open source ecosystem. It features handy bootstraps (authentication, file uploading, data import/export, etc.), useful workflows (announce an event - publish challenges - form teams - develop projects) and diverse channels (social media sharing, digital signage, summary reports).
Dribdat sprints (see Tour de Hack for some examples) typically involve open licenses (Creative Commons, Open Data Commons, etc.), community-developed templates (School of Data Pipeline), or governance instruments (Hack Code of Conduct). This is the official platform of Opendata.ch - Swiss chapter of Open Knowledge, and has been used to host dozens of events in the Swiss open data, open hardware, and open source community.
Our project started from a Cookiecutter, striving in itself to be an example of a hackable project that can be adapted to other needs and causes.
It can be used just as a Python-powered backend to aggregate data from Gitea, GitHub, GitLab and other repositories and fileshares in one place.
There is a Vue.js-based Backboard app and a Node.js Chatbot available as alternatives to the default Bootstrap user interface, easily customized with a bit of CSS.
You can customize the layout and presets in an admin panel, or with YAML configuration files.
There is more on this in the User Guide and Whitepaper.
