We're deciding the workshop themes based on participants' interests. So far we've been discussing f.ex. following themes: net etnography, triangulation, network analysis, openness in research, user research
How do they sound to you? Do you have a method case you could present shortly?

@aharju and @juhak: maybe I could present some thoughts about an article I'm planning to write about Apps4Finland 2009 and 2010.

@pe3 sounds good! Would you like to briefly open up the theme a bit here: what kind of methodological issues or problems you have in mind concerning the Apps4Finland competition analysis of yours?

I'm interested in how openness and sharing fits to (different) academic disciplines and what are the challenges and obstacles for doing open research. Being part of #somus research team and doing the research openly (in the internet) I have come across both enthusiasm and doubt coming from other researchers concerning how it is to share the ideas and plans, and 'publish' work in progress in the net as we do.

I'm interested in (mostly closed) sharing among strong ties and new innovations in the field, which would lead to system prototypes and possibly to actual services. Net etnography and network analysis are at least somewhat overlapping with my interests.

I'd be glad to discuss the ongoing work in Hypermedia Laboratory at Tampere University of Technology on developing the methods of data-driven, visual social network analysis. An abstract of article Towards Data-driven, Context-Sensitive Visual Social Network Analysis to be presented in Knowledge Federation 2010 should give an idea of what our objective is: to streamline social network analysis with methods of data-driven information visualisation. Please also have a look at a recent presentation Data-Driven Context-Sensitive Visual Social Network Analysis with Wille related to the subject.
