[datameet] [Notes] Delhi meetup on Demonetization data

['Guneet Narula' via datameet]

Hi all,

We are putting together the notes from our recent meetup here: 
https://datameet.hackpad.com/datameet-Demonetization-related-data-1zvnAv01ugE

The hackpad was originally started off before the meetup, so adding to it 
would be the best way to keep everything in one place.

If you attended the meet, please contribute to the section at the bottom of 
the hackpad. You can add notes before the list, increase the list items (I 
think I have missed some sources) and expand on each item - its 
limitations, possibilities etc.

Thanks and regards,
Guneet

[datameet] Re: We have new Indian Village Boundaries (Maps) Project Website

['Guneet Narula' via datameet]

Thanks for setting this up Thej! And to everyone who has been working on 
the maps.

About the download link, I feel it is best to link to the whole repo and 
have basic downloading instructions there. I'll try and contribute to the 
repo whenever I get time.

Best,
Guneet

[datameet] [Datameet Delhi] Upcoming meetup: Finding Data on Demonetization

['Guneet Narula' via datameet]

Dear all,

The Delhi chapter would like to invite you to a meetup on demonetization 
data. It's been a while since the Delhi members got together for a 
conversation on data, and this meet will be exactly that - starting a 
conversation on finding data on demonetization. To measure the impact on 
people's lives, on corruption and to understand the cashless ecosystem 
there is a definite need for data. So where do we begin, what exactly do we 
need are just a couple of the many questions we wish touch upon in the 
conversation.

Date: Saturday 4th February, 2017
Time: 10am to 1pm
Venue: Akvo Delhi Office, C19/A second floor, Green Park Extension, New 
Delhi
Directions: 7-8 minute walk from the green park metro station on ch. hukum 
chand marg.
Map Location: http://osm.org/go/zmjpfEqPY?m= | 
https://goo.gl/maps/my4uTiQpM742

Please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/DataMeet-Delhi/events/237238904/ 
if you are registered on meetup. Or send a confirmation email to 
de...@datameet.org

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Best,
Guneet

[datameet] Call for abstracts: CODATU + UMI Conference on Urban Mobility

['Guneet Narula' via datameet]

Dear all,

I recently received an invite from a member of the French organization 
CODATU to participate in their India focused conference next year November 
in Hyderabad. It will be a joint event with Urban Mobility India - the 
annual event by Ministry of Urban Development. The event is being 
co-organized by the Institute of Urban Transport, which was set up with the 
help of CODATU in 1997. 

The theme of the conference is: Transport for Inclusive Urban Societies

The call for abstract is live and the deadline is October 15th 2016. I feel 
this presents a good opportunity for Datameet and our transport working 
group to expand on the role of open data in urban transport and its 
sustainability. Here is the link to the web page:

On 28th May 2015, Datameet met with the two members of GeoSpatial Delhi 
Limited, a company owned by the Delhi Government, that provides geospatial 
services for planning to the various government agencies and departments. 
This was made possible by Roshan Shankar, coordinator at Delhi Dialogue

the DDC about open data policy and the possibilities of more participative 
and democratic civic engagement in planning.

 The Fallen of World War II is an interactive documentary that examines the 
 human cost of the second World War and the decline in battle deaths in the 
 years since the war. The 15-minute data visualization uses cinematic 
 storytelling techniques to provide viewers with a fresh and dramatic 
 perspective of a pivotal moment in history.

 The film follows a linear narration, but it allows viewers to pause during 
 key moments to interact with the charts and dig deeper into the numbers.

[datameet] [DataMeet Delhi] Delhi Water Data Meeting, 25th April 2015

['Guneet Narula' via datameet]

Dear all,

The Delhi Jal Board has released the Summer Action Plan 2015 last month. 
The Plan sets the water production targets for all Water Treatment Plants 
in Delhi for the summer, and identifies a series of strategies -- such as 
making functioning of water tankers more efficient, and locating vulnerable 
areas of water contamination and sewer blockage -- to reduce wastage of 
water and ensure more effective distribution, especially in the Juggi 
Jhopri colonies that do not have access to piped drinking water.

On Thursday, April 30, Sundeep Narwani of Delhi Dialogue Commission, who is 
working closely with the Delhi Jal Board, will join us to discuss the data 
challenges faced by the Board. 

We are specifically inviting organisations and individuals working on 
issues of water and sanitation so as to follow up Sundeep’s presentation 
with an open discussion towards identifying a set of key data points that 
must be collected and opened up for effective decision-making and 
monitoring of the implementation of the Summer Action Plan.

The meeting will be held at Akvo office, and we will begin at 5:30 pm.

Address: 
C 19/A, Green Park Extension
C/o BARTHAKUR (*as mentioned on the nameplate at the entrance)*

Closest Metro Station: Green Park, take the Gurdwara exit 
Landmark: Akvo office is a short walk down the Gurdwara road towards Kamal 
Cinema. Its second house from the Hotel South Gate . 
Map: http://goo.gl/QVu90t or http://osm.org/go/zmjpfDXUU-?m=
