AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Domestic Abuse and Violence
Description changed:
This is a special edition meetup focused on data gathering and analytics to combat domestic abuse and violence.
Over recent months, thanks to an experienced charity worker, we got in contact with big and small charities and noticed how they produce and collect data but don’t know how to make the most out of it (such as providing better and more support to those experiencing abuse, being more efficient, fundraising, etc.). So, we agreed we would find possible ways to put charities in contact with data experts as well as researchers in academia. Read more here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15E418mFqZ8CdsHFvFlplJYA28Jkx3Tr4cnLOfofv9vc/edit?usp=sharing.
At this point, we would like to invite Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Academic Researchers in the Combat Domestic Abuse & Violence space to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project.
If you are one of those or you know anyone with a relevant skillset - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.

Join this AI for Good project that aims at combatting climate misinformation and the spread of climate-related fake news.
As the project moves forward, we are realising the big impact it could actually have, and that is really really exciting. However, we are also realising that we truly need as many hands as possible to help and that there are certain skills we currently do not have in the team!
Our aim is still to build a tool in order to help people identify articles about climate change that are not scientifically accurate or simply not true. This tool, called Climate Battle Cards, will be in the form of a plug-in that would be available to install in any browser and that will flag those arguments against climate change that are not accurate and provide the reader with scientifically reviewed counter-arguments.
We are looking for volunteers to help us in any of the following areas.
- Climate change research
- Marketing
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design
Furthermore, we are now creating new teams for organisational purposes, which means we are also looking for team leaders! See this document for more info on the teams: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiJkhbZkgGmP9ONsF8RyDivzqC8Ty6BLawENDEQLEko/edit#heading=h.1a6pv57slern
You DON'T need to have any academic or professional experience in order to help! It’s sufficient with motivation and will to learn!
It is, honestly, a really fun project that has great potential. So if you are interested in climate change, or if you want to build your experience in Data Science and add a cool project to your portfolio or if you are simply looking for a fun side-project please do join the meet-up on Wednesday.

How a new wave of innovators are trying to use tech to empower survivors of gender-based abuse.
Is technology a weapon, or a force for good?
An estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the last year, according to the Office of National Statistics. Unfortunately technology has played a big part in that. In our highly connected world, abusers can use technology against victims to monitor, threaten, harass, and hurt them. Experts also say that the pandemic has likely made the problem worse.
But not all is bad! In the UK, a landmark law passed in 2020 has made it illegal to use technology to track or spy on partners or ex-partners. The law specifically defines this kind of online abuse as a form of domestic abuse.
Moreover, there are many organisations using tech to empower victims and help them out of their abusive relationships. We are seeing a wave of new technological innovations, including platforms and apps to address gender-based violence and and promote gender equality.
This online event will bring together 4 incredible speakers to discuss how tech can be used to help and empower victims, and highlight the work that still needs to be done to end gender-based-violence.
Our speakers for the evening are:
Naomi Naidoo, Chayn (https://chayn.co/)
Naomi Alexander Naidoo is Movement Builder at Chayn, building Chayn’s movement fighting gender-based violence around the world. CHAYN is a global volunteer network addressing gender-based violence by creating intersectional survivor-led resources online.
Naomi will be speaking about Chayn's work supporting survivors through open-source, accessible technology. She'll talk about how Chayn has built innovative new digital service offerings to meet demand through lockdown, their work fighting tech abuse, and the importance of intersectional, trauma-informed, survivor-centric design.
Cat Ainsworth, The Dot Project (https://www.dotproject.coop/)
Over the past year and a half DOT PROJECT has supported charities supporting survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. Their work has focused on moving services online and supporting organisations to create a strong foundation for their digital technology approach in order to maintain and sustain their services for the long term. In this talk DOT PROJECT will share a few case studies from our recent work.
Despite being a victim of gender-based sexual violence in her late teenage years, Tess left education at 18 and rapidly progressed in her career through the Guardian, Comic Relief and FutureLearn where she became Director of People. Tessa launched Collaborative Future in 2018, a social enterprise actively advocating for a society where everyone is valued and empowered.
Tessa will share her personal story around physical gender-based violence. She'll demonstrate how when done well technology can serve as a tool for justice and healing, but that more often than not our technology mirrors and echoes our culture of violence, dominance and disempowerment. She'll share practical examples of how everyone striving to build new, more equitable systems or tools need to work on personally unravelling their social conditioning in order to not replicate the harm our existing systems inflict on people.
Alice Piterova, AI For Good (https://www.aiforgood.co.uk/)
Data and AI have the potential to solve big societal problems. The challenge lies in identifying where to direct focus, to ensure that this powerful and yet very nascent technology is used to do good and actually drives lasting positive outcomes. Alice from AI for Good UK is going to talk about rAInbow, the friendly chatbot designed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all those at risk of abuse to get help and valid information on this very private and sensitive matter.
Join this AI for Good project that aims at combatting climate misinformation and the spread of climate-related fake news.
As the project moves forward, we are realising the big impact it could actually have, and that is really really exciting. However, we are also realising that we truly need as many hands as possible to help and that there are certain skills we currently do not have in the team!
Our aim is still to build a tool in order to help people identify articles about climate change that are not scientifically accurate or simply not true. This tool, called Climate Battle Cards, will be in the form of a plug-in that would be available to install in any browser and that will flag those arguments against climate change that are not accurate and provide the reader with scientifically reviewed counter-arguments.
We are looking for volunteers to help us in any of the following areas.
- Climate change research
- Marketing
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design
Furthermore, we are now creating new teams for organisational purposes, which means we are also looking for team leaders! See this document for more info on the teams: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiJkhbZkgGmP9ONsF8RyDivzqC8Ty6BLawENDEQLEko/edit#heading=h.1a6pv57slern

Discovery is a process carried out at the beginning of a digital project. It's likely to include researching to find out what your users need, what motivates them and how they experience the world. It can also involve analysing the problem you are looking to solve, developing a hypothesis and creating tools like personas and user need statements.
We'll hear from some small London charities and social enterprises as they share learning from participating in the National Lottery funded Catalyst Discovery programme during 2020. How was the process for them? What are their tips for success? What did they go on to develop (or not)?
We're delighted that we'll be joined by:
* Naomi Louse from Therapy 4 Healing - https://www.t4h.org.uk
* Anna Woolf from London Arts in Health Forum - https://www.lahf.org.uk
* Kehryse Johnson-Fraser from Bubble Theatre - https://www.londonbubble.org.uk
Join us to learn and share experiences - we'll be building in networking time and asking for your suggestions for future sessions too.
Please RSVP and we'll send Zoom joining instructions nearer the time.

Join this AI for Good project that aims at combatting climate misinformation and the spread of climate-related fake news.
As the project moves forward, we are realising the big impact it could actually have, and that is really really exciting. However, we are also realising that we truly need as many hands as possible to help and that there are certain skills we currently do not have in the team!
Our aim is still to build a tool in order to help people identify articles about climate change that are not scientifically accurate or simply not true. This tool, called Climate Battle Cards, will be in the form of a plug-in that would be available to install in any browser and that will flag those arguments against climate change that are not accurate and provide the reader with scientifically reviewed counter-arguments.
We are looking for volunteers to help us in any of the following areas.
- Climate change research
- Marketing
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design
Furthermore, we are now creating new teams for organisational purposes, which means we are also looking for team leaders! See this document for more info on the teams: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiJkhbZkgGmP9ONsF8RyDivzqC8Ty6BLawENDEQLEko/edit#heading=h.1a6pv57slern
You DON'T need to have any academic or professional experience in order to help! It’s sufficient with motivation and will to learn!
It is, honestly, a really fun project that has great potential. So if you are interested in climate change, or if you want to build your experience in Data Science and add a cool project to your portfolio or if you are simply looking for a fun side-project please do join the meet-up on Wednesday.
Please find more information on this leaflet: https://bit.ly/3uQ8QEk - which highlights our need for marketers and designers!
Or simply join our slack and ping a message on #climate-misinformation channel: http://bit.ly/2p8icye - there you can ask us about anything!
Agenda:
18:00-18:15 A round of introductions and updates
18:15-19:00 Breaking into teams to discuss different tasks (research, marketing, product, data, tech, design UX/UI)
NB! Please join before 18:15, because after it we will switch to a different platform
PS Before you join this meetup, please sign the T&Cs regarding data usage and the overall rules of contributing to our community projects.
AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Domestic Abuse and Violence
Description changed:
This is a special edition meetup focused on data gathering and analytics to combat domestic abuse and violence.
Over recent months, thanks to an experienced charity worker, we got in contact with big and small charities and noticed how they produce and collect data but don’t know how to make the most out of it (such as providing better and more support to those experiencing abuse, being more efficient, fundraising, etc.). So, we agreed we would find possible ways to put charities in contact with data experts as well as researchers in academia. Read more here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15E418mFqZ8CdsHFvFlplJYA28Jkx3Tr4cnLOfofv9vc/edit?usp=sharing.
At this point, we would like to invite Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Academic Researchers in the Combat Domestic Abuse & Violence space to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project.
If you are one of those or you know anyone with a relevant skillset - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.

We are hosting an interview style discussion with founders, investors and eco-system partners in the fintech sector globally touching upon decentralized finance, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, digital securities and discussing industry trends, challenges, corporate and investment strategies.

Date and Time: Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 9am PDT (12pm EST, 4pm GMT)
Title: Tokeny Solutions:
Registration Link:
Business Summary: Tokeny Solutions
Tokeny Solutions allows financial actors operating in private markets to compliantly issue, transfer and manage securities using distributed ledger technology, enabling them to improve asset liquidity.
Due to disconnected and siloed services that are currently used to enforce trust, private markets experience poor asset transferability with little to no liquidity. By applying trust, compliance and control on a hyper-efficient infrastructure, Tokeny Solutions enables market participants to unlock significant advancements in the transferability and liquidity of financial instruments.
Tokeny Solutions is the leader in its field and in 2020 were named one of the top 50 companies in the blockchain space by CB Insights. They are backed by Euronext.

We're looking forward to welcoming you to the first CoTech Meetup for a while!
Prior to 2020 we were already witnessing growing levels of inequality and precarious work. Now, with the effects of the global coronavirus pandemic colliding with the UK's exit from the EU, we seem to be entering a period of massive economic and social change. This may well lead to spiralling levels of unemployment. But then again, there is also an opportunity for people to experiment with new ways of organising, and for us to question our old assumptions about the economy and social hierarchies more generally.
What role is there for coops in this new era? How can they grow to create a more equitable future for workers and society in general?
Join us for an informal evening, with short presentations for 4 great speakers, and an opportunity for discussion. The speakers will be:
Rose Marley has recently started as CEO at Co-Ops UK. Rose has been a social entrepreneur for over 20 years and founded SharpFutures, a creative digital agency that supports diverse young people into employment prior to starting at Co-Ops UK. Rose will use one of heroes Bertrand Russell to kick off the discussion, with his 1954 quote that is just as pertinent in today's climate, if not more so: “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation".
Daniel Cox is Project Development Manager at Co-Operative College in Manchester. Daniel will be discussing his work, which focuses on inspiring and empowering a new generation of young leaders to use the co-operative model to disrupt and redistribute power in society. He'll also be talking about how we can work together to expose young people and community leaders to ideas of co-operativism to provoke their imagination.
Sion Whellens is a London-based cooperative worker, adviser and organiser at Calverts, Principle Six and Solidfund. He represents the UK at CECOP and CICOPA, the European and world federations for co-ops in industry and services. Sion will be talking about how the relevance of worker co-operation is not its potential to rescue the small business sector, or to mitigate the effects of structural unemployment and social deprivation. Rather, it is the capacity of organised workers to deconstruct useless and oppressive work, and collaborate in creating a new productive arrangement based on meeting human need without exploitation, class oppression and ecological destruction.
John Evans is a co-founder of Code-Operative, a tech freelancer’s coop, and project lead of Wobbly. He has a VR headset and aspirations to hang glide. John will be talking about why the coop structure is versatile and robust enough to provide for an individual during a crisis and making the case for being part of a coop during a crisis.

Why are co-ops relevant in a time of political and economic crisis?

e2e Tests With BDD Specifications & Tales from a front-end dev on call

Tales from a front-end dev going on call
Steve Hornsey will share his experience of going on call, what he learned and how it made him a better developer.
The Ultimate Mashup: Combining e2e Tests With BDD Specifications
Testing the workflow of any application can be challenging to automate. Unit tests are great to perform isolated testing on a given frontend component. However, it proves difficult to test a full screen workflow across components, nevermind the interactions taking place across the technology stack.
End to end testing frameworks provide an opportunity to address such challenges. However, even though such obstacles are overcome, the testing format adopted by e2e testing frameworks isn’t really stakeholder friendly. It can take time for new developers to understand the workflow and tests, especially if they are new to e2e testing.
In this talk Carly will share her experiences on how combining Behavioural Driven Development specifications with e2e testing frameworks can help produce more accessible user testing. She’ll also share an example of best practices using Cucumber and Protractor, and discuss the options you have when looking to test your application end to end.

AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Domestic Abuse and Violence
Description changed:
This is a special edition meetup focused on data gathering and analytics to combat domestic abuse and violence.
Over recent months, thanks to an experienced charity worker, we got in contact with big and small charities and noticed how they produce and collect data but don’t know how to make the most out of it (such as providing better and more support to those experiencing abuse, being more efficient, fundraising, etc.). So, we agreed we would find possible ways to put charities in contact with data experts as well as researchers in academia. Read more here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15E418mFqZ8CdsHFvFlplJYA28Jkx3Tr4cnLOfofv9vc/edit?usp=sharing.
At this point, we would like to invite Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Academic Researchers in the Combat Domestic Abuse & Violence space to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project.
If you are one of those or you know anyone with a relevant skillset - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.

(This is an additional/alternative date for the session from CAST & IVAR on Weds 3rd Feb on the same topic. Please only sign up to one, not both, events https://lu.ma/eqctebvx)
2020 saw many small voluntary organisations grappling with tech and taking their services online for the first time.
In the space of a few short months, new tools were trialled, new service delivery approaches were tested, new skills were learned and new knowledge was built.
About the session
This event is run by the NetSquared London and NetSquared Midlands tech for good communities, but open to organisations based anywhere in the UK. We host events for nonprofits and techies to come together to share ideas, learn new skills, ask questions, and collaborate around using technology for social benefit.
We are part of the international NetSquared community.
This is a space to take stock, share and learn from others who've been on a similar digital journey. It'll be an open, safe, lightly-facilitated space to reflect and listen.
Who it's for
This meetup is aimed specifically at small charities. Because we know some of the tech and digital challenges facing small charities are unique to this group.
Why attend
Research shows that peer support and involvement in Tech for Good communities helps accelerate progress with digital - building confidence, resilience and valuable connections. Plus, it's free!
How to sign up
Please complete this form https://lu.ma/eqctebvx and once your registration is approved, you'll be sent a confirmation with Zoom joining instructions.
Please share this with any other small organisations you think would find this helpful :)
AI for Good Meetup - Climate Change & Misinformation (NLP)
Description changed:
This is a virtual meetup from the AI for Good Community, where we collaborate to use AI and NLP in fighting misinformation and Climate Change denial.
This time our community members will be joined by Jack Hampson from Deeper Insights. We are developing a tool that provides facts vs. fiction about climate change to verify news and social media posts everyone is reading online. There are two fundamental approaches we are trying to experiment with at the moment:
1) Clustering and manual labeling
2) Training a model on a Grist dataset
If you know a thing or two about climate change, Natural Language Processing, web plugins, or simply feel passionate and keen to use your skills for good - please join our meetup and let's act together!
First time here? Here's a document outlining the project we are working on: https://bit.ly/2TTlt00
Join our slack to catch up with the latest activities in this group: http://bit.ly/2p8icye - Please jump on the #climate-misinformation channel once you join.
Before you join this meetup, please sign the T&Cs regarding data usage and the overall rules of contributing to our community projects.
