Hi all, On Saturday, a team of us in New York will be begin working with the School of Data <http://schoolofdata.org/> to map garment factories in Dhaka. Please join us, in person or online. Details on the work below. For coordinates of the NYC event, feel free to contact me directly.
____ The horrific factory collapse in Dhaka last month has brought the business practices of global garment brands, as well their thousands of their suppliers, into the spotlight. As garment factory supplier lists across global brands are increasingly becoming available, we wanted to take a closer look at these in our upcoming: *Data Expedition: Mapping the garment factories* When: Saturday May 25 – 12:00 BST to May 26 18:00 BST - link to your timezone<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Data+Expedition+from+School+of+Data%3A+Mapping+the+Garment+Factories&iso=20130525T12&p1=136> (Note: NYC will only be participating on Saturday.) We’ll be looking for projects such as: - Mapping garment factories locally and globally - Exploring the global supply chain of garment export and imports - Mapping the ownership of local factories and global brands with open company data - Finding stories and patterns in the connections between global brands and local garment factories Registration is now open<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/forms/d/1p-3Bqr3MkIQZ_VoQqed7OKoAfmoYZffZaJ32HdLHNRE/viewform> More information about the Data Expedition: http://schoolofdata.org/2013/05/18/data-expedition-mapping-the-garment-factories/
