HACC Group: Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media
This is the pad for the group "Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media" I left out workflow because it is a more general, administrative topic. If someone wants to add that topic, don't hesitate.
First: I think we should to find a better and shorter name for this group! Argument collection for naming discussion: https://pad.totalism.org/p/hacc-naming-discussion
The last version of our discussion can be found here: https://pad.totalism.org/p/hacc-2
Here are some proposals that were made during the last discussion and some additional ideas
Possible target audience:
people that are affected by actions of HACC (e.g. visitors of future CCC events)
deniers and sceptics
pupils, teachers, students ("Chaos macht Schule"???)
general public
hackers
media/journalists (classic media: tv, newspapers and/or "new" media, youtube channels or blogs, HACC as a service)
scientists (some form of collaboration, HACCaaS)
Works in both directions:
Hackers to scientists: like luftdaten.info
Scientists to hackers for PR work, visualization and so on...
politicians
members of the green and sustainable movement
https://bits-und-baeume.org/
Topics:
Explain basics of climate change
Show how CO2 works as a heat trap with experiments
Is it possible to show that certain CO2 is men made with simple experiments??? How to show isotopes of molecules and atoms with simple experiments???
Show the current status in science
Show the current status in politics
Show the current status of development for replacing CO2 emitting systems and tools with non emitting ones
Discuss pros and cons
renewable energy
wind ernergy systems
the grid - electricity map (https://www.electricitymap.org )
Connect well known and accepted knowledge and scientific facts to disputed climate change facts
Tell positive naratives about what a change of behavior or energy sources can do
Show and promote projects and topics concering the environment, clean air and so on...

???
Find a common ground with sceptics ???
Decentralized and local renewable energy is something nationalists would want to be more independent of the world
Conserving the environment will find some or even a lot of support in conservative/religious groups
With "Laudato Si" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudato_si%27 ) we have the catholic church on our side
It's true, further development on storage and control systems are necessary during the next years
Also if climate change would only be a chinese hoax, fossil fuels are finite ressources
Milestones
CCC events (congress, camp) Present results at assembly and/or talks:
multiple video projectors
animations and visualizations
show experiments live or as a recording
have factsheets or handouts
create memes
sticker
HACCaaS:
Running a collaboration network/platform
Needed Activities:
Collect typical arguments of
sceptics and deniers
people who are convinced that it's too late to act
people who are convinced that the society won't change and we are doomed
Develop or collect experiments
Develop or collect visualizations
Collect sources of information
IPCC
search the net
different projects
read scientific articles/papers
Collaborate with scientists, journalists
HACC as a Service
Establish workflows, tools and infrastructure

Ecology
https://ecologicaldata.org/find-data
Repository for research data underlying scientific publications, incl. plenty of ecological data: www.datadryad.org
Biotechnology
NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
NCBI is mostly for biomedical and biotechnological data; however, some of the datasets in the SRA (Sequence Read Archive - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra) are ecological in nature, meaning that they contain DNA/RNA data gathered from habitats. However, it is some work to find out which datasets are helpful for us
Animals
Global database for tracking data of animals by MPI, www.movebank.org
Plants
Curated global database for plant traits by MPI, www.try-db.org
Light pollution
Global Light Pollution Data http://ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/viirs.html (is currently down because of the US government shutdown)
Microbial
Different Large-Scale Microbial Ecology Projects (with very spotty data, and usually no timeseries):
