Visualize team email network with new MIT tool
- punnerud 7y agoShould be a way to run this on my own server. I don't like to give full access to all my teams e-mails/data.
- prepend 7y agoSame. That’s a bit of a non-starter as even my non-work email isn’t appropriate to share with some random third party. Even if their intentions are good, how could I ever determine if they have appropriate security?
- obituary_latte 7y ago4th paragraph on landing page: >If you are interested on using OpenTeams in a secure setting, please use the opensource code to spin your own private instance of OpenTeams
- shakna 7y agoSeems rather easy to do so. [0] Python 2.7, Nginx, MongoDB, with a screen-based shell script to launch once all the dependencies are in place. [0] https://github.com/MacroConnections/openteams https://github.com/MacroConnections/openteams

- teekert 7y agoTo slap those mass emailers on the wrist for just emailing, appearing busy but just eating everyone's time ;)
- proxygeek 7y agoAnd to discover the key people in networks you are part of. There are always some hubs to all networks and the tool makes an interesting visualisations if these hubs changing over time.
- madsohm 7y agoAutoplaying background music. Why?
- mlukaszek 7y agoDitto! It felt like I'm back in 1995, had to take the headphones off as also the volume is pretty high. Shall II carry on and start looking for MARQUEE in the page's source? Edit: just googled MARQUEE. Nice trolling, Google.
- Anon84 7y agoCesar Hidalgo, the team lead, is a pretty interesting guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Hidalgo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Hidalgo and also the person behind the "Atlas of Economic Complexity" http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ and Brazil's "Data Viva" http://dataviva.info/en/ http://dataviva.info/en/
- proxygeek 7y agoThe guy was also involved with an earlier iteration of the tool: https://immersion.media.mit.edu/ https://immersion.media.mit.edu/ In fact, i had used the tool and thought this new one looks familiar. That's how I came to know of Hidalgo. Some pretty interesting projects he's been part of
- Anon84 7y agoAlso, http://language.media.mit.edu/visualizations/books http://language.media.mit.edu/visualizations/books (although I was directly involved with this one :)
- juandazapata 7y agoThanks for making me temporarily deaf. WTF.
- rhcom2 7y agoI work for an architecture/design company and we've been using very similar homebrewed software + surveys to analyze what departments need to be near each other for college campuses.
- dpflan 7y agoThis is very cool; is there a similar tool (or map this one) to Slack? I found this article about the concept (via different tool) applied to Slack. > https://www.fastcompany.com/3061976/see-whats-really-going-on-in-your-companys-slack-with-this-new-visualization-app https://www.fastcompany.com/3061976/see-whats-really-going-o...
- lukegil 7y agoSeems like there may be a slack integration, just not thoroughly documented -- e.g. https://github.com/MacroConnections/openteams/blob/550b7bd436cc7a47d74c7f6d10c10879dbda2862/dev/newserver/db.py#L283 https://github.com/MacroConnections/openteams/blob/550b7bd43...
