A Promising New Option for Putting Data Skills to Use

In the tradition of Doctors Without Borders and similar programs, a team of data analysts are putting together a program to facilitate pro bono -- but socially important -- data analysis work.  More after the break.




I hope this enterprise (Data Without Borders) takes off.  The Dallas R User Group is talking about getting involved and possibly organizing our own "data dive".  I have volunteered as a data analyst and as a subject matter expert on public/nonprofit management.  This might even be an opportunity for student projects and the like.  Anyway, I encourage everyone to check it out.
