Human Face of Big Data

This is a repository for the Human Face of Big Data project from DCIC, iSchool, UMD.

Folder Structure

doc

Any technical documents that students learned and implmented can be placed here as markdown (.md) files. Markdown syntax are avaible at https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet

GIS

QGIS files and shape files for target cities are available here. Some big files need to be downloaded from the UMD Box for the project.

html

Any web-related materials such as PHP, Javascript, and SQL files are here. This folder will be directly used on the server in the future.

vm

Vagrant and Ansible are a good solution to maintain each member's local development environment consistent. It is not required to use Vagrant, but it is highly recommended in the development process. Configuration files and scripts are available in this folder.

• For Linux and Mac users: use vm/mac/ for vagrant up
• For Windows users: use vm/windows/ for vagrant up

As of November 2018, there have been updates on the Vagrant, Ansible, and Virtualbox versions based on OS updates: Vagrant 2.2, Ansible 2.7, and VirtualBox 5.2
