 Dear all,

 Happy to bump into this mailing list. Is anyone interested in a meetup in
 Mumbai - the last one I searched was almost a year ago?

 A quick intro: We had participated in the recent Planning Commission
 hackathon. When we saw the data.gov.in site, we realized that there must be
 a better way to visualize all this data. So we came up with
 http://codeformumbai.org (repository:
 https://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in).

 The goal is to create a data portal that can merge all the datasources
 based on some heuristics (here is a start I did for the data.gov.in files:
 https://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in/blob/master/build_db.py). I was
 able to map almost 60% datapoints to timeseries and 30% to a region. And
 this is just the start - there is the awesome devinfo census database. Would
 also love to find ways to map election data into this so that it could be
 useful in the up coming elections. Also if we can map the governance
 architecture (governments, departments, ministries, institutions) then it
 will make for even interesting analysis.

 Since I am a newbie in this field would love to meet more experienced
 folks, get ideas for visualisations, share datasources, tools. If there are
 any similar projects (did not find many so far) please let me know.

 best regards,
 Rushabh
