### Coding for Science & Society
Let’s get excited about open science, reproducibility, civic technology, and open data! Come meet other folks who code for science and society.
RSVP on Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/Dat-Meetup/events/235968044/
There will be a few talks about work that makes society and science better through code. Speakers will present for 10-20 minutes on an idea, trend, interesting project, or open source community related to coding for science and society.
If you have something to talk about, click below to fill out the form and we’ll get back to you ASAP:
[Sign up for a talk here](https://goo.gl/forms/NfIq0opFx9WCbWUD3)
Doors open at 5pm, Talks start 6:00pm.
#### Confirmed Talks (More coming soon)
##### Dat: Peer to Peer open data for science, journalism, and government
###### The Dat Team (http://datproject.org/team)
Dat is a grant-funded, open-source, decentralized data sharing tool for efficiently versioning and syncing changes to data.
Built in Node.js, Dat can be used to version data locally, or to share and sync data over the internet. Dat includes an optional peer-to-peer distribution system, meaning that the more widely that a dataset is shared, the faster it is for users to retrieve or sync a copy, and the more redundant that the dataset’s availability becomes.
By building tools to build and share data pipelines, we aim to bring to data a style of collaboration similar to what Git brings to source code, while bringing a style of sharing similar to what Dropbox brings to file generally. Note that while Dat is a designed as a general-purpose tool, our team focuses on its use in the sciences.
