Re: [datameet] open data repository?
I’m glad you brought up the NIC’s data.gov.in. I think we should try to get a Q&A session with them to see if they can 1) walk us through the new site, 2) allow for us to have a public place for feedback and complaints, 3) see if there are any joint projects we can do with them for their launch (hackathon etc) This the contact information for them: amis...@nic.in dpmi...@nic.in I believe the datasets are supposed to be ready soon. They are also on this list. So feel free to respond to this mail.

Re: [datameet] open data repository?
I really like this idea. I'm still hoping we can get the NIC to do a talk with us and a feedback session. This website is really an amazing opportunity. This is basically the government saying "Ok data is out there, now let's see if people will really use it." I think it is our job to make sure its purpose is fulfilled and not really leave it to their discretion. When they have more data, a mini hackathon, making sure they hear from us consistently about usability and ofcourse requesting data are definitely things this group can do. I do like the idea of mirroring, not so much a place to host the data but a place to also show its visualization and story telling potential really showing what can be done when data is available. ckan and socrata are both options. I actually think Open Governance India is a good way. They did a great job on their site.

Re: [datameet] Bangalore meet-up
We don't usually do skill building at the meetings.

[datameet] [Bangalore 2013 DataCamp] Themes
Hi Everyone, Ankur had a great question about theme for next years Bangalore Open DataCamp. I wanted to move it to its own thread. We didn't really have a theme in March. We just kinda looked at data in general with an understanding of a shared value that data should be open. Since we're aiming for two days next year we can fit more talks. We can also try to be more balanced and explore what are the strengths and weaknesses of open data. I have been flirting around with one major theme and then a few sub themes. These are pretty general but we can narrow them down if they are of interest or throw out your own and we can see from there. My Theme Ideas. "Data is a Starting Point" - This was a big data year. With things like Data.Gov.In launching and the Census becoming available, as well as, interest in data growing (i.e. Data Camps and Fifth Elephant). What happens once we have data? Looking at the strengths and weaknesses of data, especially in governance and journalism. How to filter is, identifying high value datasets, enhancing conversations about methodology and formats. etc. Sub Theme Ideas "RTI to Open Data" - How do we bridge the gap between RTI and Open Data, connecting the two in a way that can benefit people in both spaces. "Data for Sustainability" - The sexy term for development is sustainable everything. But what does that mean and how can data help in this end. What projects are really using data well to create sustainable solutions. What do you all think? What are some of your ideas for a themes? -- Nisha Thompson Mobile: 962-061-2245 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.

[datameet] [Bangalore] Meetup Discussion
Hey Everyone, At the Meetup on Tuesday we discussed the following: *Data.Gov.In* The team at NIC's Data.gov.in has been putting up a few datasets. Now they have around 20. There are a lot of community functions on the site. As a data-centric community we really should be finding ways to give feedback and demand datasets. I would like share the following google doc with the list of data sets we have been requesting. I will be officially requesting the government related ones on the request data forum. We also have priority data we would like Pincodes being the biggest demand and shapefiles being the next more asked for dataset. So please vote for those sets here: Also would anyone be interested in participating in some of their forums. Specifically one about requesting data and discussing formats, standardization, and data quality. *India Water Portal Data Project* I presented the work I'm doing at India Water Portal The India Water Portal Data Project is looking at water data in India in a systematic way the hopes to see what data is out there, who collects it, what are the gaps, and how you can use data to build quality and sustainable water projects and tell a more realistic story about the state of water in India. So we are looking at data from government, NGOs, and academics have to try to get an idea of how to answer two big questions. How much water do we have? How much water do we need? *How much do we have?* India's water cycle is constricted to surface water which depends heavily on the three months of monsoon rains, and groundwater. So data around rain, reservoir levels, surface water, and groundwater levels are essential to understand the supply we are working with. This data is scattered, collected by many different agencies, and also is of questionable quality. *How much do we need?* Demand for water is harder to understand. Metering of water use is not widely used and not required by law. Real numbers of actual use are not available but can be deduced from other proxy factors like energy use (for pumps) and what kind of crops are grown. The discussion then moved to the urban story of water. How you can check for leaks and get demand information from apt administrators and houses that use tankers. One of the projects discussed was forming a home weather station network. India Water Portal is in the process of getting a weather station to live stream data in Bangalore. Several people also want to make cheaper versions of a weather station for homes that will also collect data. This network could be a source of data that is more granular and there for more useful for projects like rainwater harvesting. If you are interested in working on the Weather network in Bangalore please let me know. I can connect you to Pavan and Sam Rajkumar.

Re: [datameet] [Bangalore DataCamp] Themes - Recommendations for Speakers
Amrtha/ Nagarajan Yes we can put this under standardization and have subtheme of government for one of hte panels or presentations. Maya: Great! The workshop part we are still organizing. I am looping in a few others on what we should offer. So let's take this discussion off list and see what school of data is offering and how that overlaps with what we are envisioning. Sridhar: I think that is a good idea also. I'm not sure what theme research would sit under? Maybe we can brainstorm about it offlist. I'm sure there are very India specific examples that can be presented. So if there is someone you have in mind please let me know.

[datameet] We lost a bright star
I am sure most of you heard, Aaron Swartz one of the pioneers of RSS, Reddit,social hacktivism, and on top of that a great person, died. I knew Aaron very briefly when he worked out of the Sunlight Foundation offices several years back. I remember him being incredibly sweet, smart, funny and generous. It is tragic how he was treated for making information, that belongs to the public, open. He was a hero to lot of us. I'm very sad to not have his ever present passion and heart no longer around. As we move forward with our endeavors to bring information into the public sphere we can't forgot the people that came before us and led the way. Aaron you have left a void, Rest in Peace. -- Nisha Thompson Mobile: 962-061-2245 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.

Re: [datameet] Hacking the IMD's Android App for hidden API
Hey, I think this is a really great idea! However just something be aware of IMD is very possessive with their data, much more than other places. They charge a lot for it and have stated to me that opening it up is not something they will never. But since citizens have already paid for this data and they insist on making terrible applications I say go for it.

Re: [datameet] Where is the OPEN in NDSAP using xls formats?
All good poing. To 2) I can say that currently data.gov.in will not have state and local data. But an NDSAP type bill is going to be taken up in the states. If they adapted then I assume equivalent portals will be created at the state level. I am going to forward this mail to data.gov.in. See if they will respond directly.

[datameet] [Bangalore] Open DataCamp - March 2nd and 3rd Invitation
Hi Everyone, I would like to invite you all to the 2013 Bangalore Open DataCamp that will be held on March 2nd and 3rd. This event is dedicated to discussing and exploring Open Data in India and the many people and projects that use data. http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2013/ Last year we had 150 people come and participate and had presentations from various places from UID to governance to education, and how they are using data to attack a particular problem. Last year's event was a catalyst and sparked two more events, one in Hyderabad and on in Chennai dedicated to open data or working with data. Also projects relating to transportation and climate have been done. I would like to ask you or your team to come and participate if possible, it will be a great event. We are going to have talks from Data.Gov.IN, a data hackathon and workshops related to skill building. The themes this year are: Sustainable Development Through Data - Can our development projects benefit from open data? Privacy/security - What are the risks? Relevance of Open Data - When is open data relevant when isn't it? Data for Activism - How to make change with data? Standardization - How do get on the same page? If you have a talk you would like to give please let us know. http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2013/ Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Re: [datameet] Fwd: Twitter Discussion on RTE at 9 PM tonight! Come..Join
Hey, I have noticed some of these event announcements are getting off topic. Please make sure before you post that it relates to data. Also for events like this that have an interactive but non data focus please make sure to post an ask that is data related. For Example: This could be an opportunity to ask about education data. IF you are unsure please check with the moderators. Thanks!

[datameet] Meeting with Data.Gov.In
Last Monday, various people from DataMeet went and met with the Data.Gov.Inteam for a day. Thej, Pranesh Prakash, Zainab, Sumandro, Gautam John, Laina Emmanuel and I went and presented our feedback for the site as well as for the governing policy National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP). I have attached the note we wrote of our feedback, . We met with Alka Mishra and DP Misra from Data.Gov.IN and presented our thoughts to Dr. Shiv Kumar from Department of Science and Technology, who is the main sponsor of the policy. We wanted to convey to them that there is demand for an open data site and that we want it to succeed but the policy doesn't address all our concerns. The presentation went well. We went through our concerns and how data.gov.inis implementing the NDSAP. They were positive about several of these aspects and also were aware of some of the issues. While a policy change is somewhat unlikely, we were told that in the implementation guidelines our suggestions can be incorporated. Detailed notes about the conversation will be following shortly. They also stated that now they need communities like ours to work on creating apps and visualizations with this data so that they have good examples to show to Ministries when they question why should they share data. We said we would work with them on requesting data, sharing it, and also on hackathons and projects to showcase what can be done with open data. They will be coming to Open DataCamp and participating in the hackathon on the 2nd day. It was a positive meeting overall and the first of many interactions. I feel that if we continue to meet with their team whenever there is an opportunity then we can get some real movement and also more valuable data. So let's use this thread to look at data.gov.in and see what else from an implementation side can be done. Also the biggest ask they had was for us to spend some time and use the platform to request data.< http://data.gov.in/suggest_dataset> This is so they can demonstrate demand for this data. Again detailed notes will be coming soon.

[datameet] financial inclusion project
Hey Everyone, This is a project being done by a friend. They are looking for help on getting access to different data sets to use in a financial inclusion credit tool. Description: "EFLGlobal is geared towards increasing access to finance by equipping banks in emerging markets with better tools to understand credit risk. We are a for-profit spin-off from a Harvard research initiative Our psychometric credit-scoring tool has lowered defaults and dramatically increased the SME loan portfolios of many of the largest banks in 25 countries across Africa, Latin America, and India."(www.eflglobal.com) Most entrepreneurs and small businesspersons in India and other emerging economies are "un-bankable" - they do not have access to the formal financial sector. We firmly believe, however, that their are many "hidden assets" that an entrepreneur in an emerging market can use - we started by pioneering psychometric credit scoring and now seek to add additional sources of data to our scoring model to continue to enhance our predictive algorithms. *We are seeking partners who can help us understand the following data sources in India and other emerging markets:* *1. Social Data* - Look at what variables from the social web can help understand payment risk. *2. Mobile* - Explore how pre-paid mobile usage, airtime top up patterns, and voice and SMS usage are predictive of credit risk and ability to pay. *3. GIS* - we have (fuzzy) address or GPS coordinates for bank applicants and seek to layer this data set with secondary data including point of interest data (e.g. distance from market), block and administrative level data. Market research companies have traditionally pioneered in this area and we particular we are hopeful about improvements in being able to geo-code fuzzy addresses, we are seeking those with geo-coding ability and access to data sets beyond census data (e.g. Pitney Bowes insights, axiom)" *Disclaimer: All of the data is for internal R&D and will not be sold to any other parties.* * * Let me know offline if you are interested in finding out more.

[datameet] [group business] forming a DataMeet Trust
Hey Everyone, After this last Bangalore Open DataCamp, THej and I have started to discuss the idea of forming a Trust for DataMeet, this will allow getting support for these events easier in the future. And will allow the group to do more diverse events, like skill building workshops. Given that we are a volunteer group, getting support for these events is really difficult and involves a lot of work for the people organizing them. The plus side of forming a Trust is that we have an entity that can take money and save some juggling from the organizers. This is a major step for us as a group. So it's important to know what everyone is thinking. It will also be something that will be discussed at Bangalore's DataMeet this week. Do you think it is a good idea for us to become more formal? Do you think a Trust is best? What other things can we do as an official entity besides throw events? As we try to figure out the nuts and bolts of filling out paperwork and getting it worked out. Do any of you have any particular experience with forming a Trust? Any advice to give regarding how to proceed. That would be really helpful. Thanks everyone!

[datameet] [Group Business] Introductions
Hi Everyone! I want to say we have hit 500 members! Which is a big deal! And also means there are a lot of new people. I want to welcome new people and want to ask people to introduce themselves. As a moderator I get to see some of the interest people have in this group. But I think it would be great if people could use this thread as a place to introduce themselves and say a few things about what they would like to get out this list. I also want to apologize about the new moderation policy that I didn't let everyone know about. Since we are now a larger list spam has been an issue. So any first time messages are moderated. Which is usually fine but I have been in the US for the past few weeks and have not been on top of approving the messages. But it should be fine from now on. I will go first! I work for India Water Portal, a Bangalore based project aimed to be a warehouse of water information, on their Data Project.< http://www.indiawaterportal.org/data> We aim to collect and systematically go through and look at water data in India. How is it collected? Who collects it and how do people use it? This is why I joined the list to look for others to help us work out any data problems we encounter.

Re: [datameet] [group business] forming a DataMeet Trust
Thanks everyone! When I'm back in India, I'll be contacting several of you to talk about this further and I hope we can continue this conversation on the list and try to find out how we can do this. For me there a couple of reasons to do a trust, but being incubated is also a good option. Events are great but they are incredibly time and people resource heavy. Without an organization it makes a lot of the logistics much harder to organize. Also we want these events to stay local and decentralized, however, not every group has the resources to pull off a datacamp and it can be hard to find sponsors. I have attached a document I wrote awhile ago about a sponsorship structure that could be helpful to people who want to have these datameets in their local area. Please review and let me know what you think. Also events around data are now becoming more common place. I know Bangalore is very over saturated with tech events. Our data events need to be more focused. We can no longer get away with HEY DATA EVENT COME AND SAY DATA A LOT! Which is a really really good thing. As a group we have a particular point of view and what we feel are the strengths and weaknesses of data and open data. So I feel we can do explore a lot of interesting and innovative approaches that few other places can. One question that I would like to tackle in the next few months is: As a group do we have goals? Right now we are a space that allows conversations and sharing to happen, I consider that to be a great success. But now that we are growing, more avenues for finding ways to help move this productive energy forward will be necessary. I think an organization will help with that. What do you think?

Re: [datameet] My first experiment with data visualisation for journalism -- please review
Clarification our dataset is not directly from IMD but from a British NGO that RTI'd the data from the IMD then did analysis. So it is a little removed. If your dataset is directly from IMD could be a good comparison with our data.

[datameet] Re: [Bangalore] Any meets in Bangalore.
Hey! Let's have a Bangalore meetup. I know we were planning one but it didn't come into focus. I think the question of trying to have one on a weekend, came up. Do we want to meet on a Sunday? If so I'll get a venue lined up and we can plan it for the last weekend in July. Also there is a linked open data event Has Geek is hosting at CIS on July 10th. When we meet we can also see about helping out with this even. http://geekup.in/2013/tim-davies Nisha On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 1:51 PM, Manoj Murulinath wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have been following datameet closely and would like to come for a meetup > if any happening in Bangalore. > > Regards, > > Manoj M > > Sent from my Windows Phone > -- > From: satyaakam goswami > Sent: 15-06-2013 AM 06:34 > To: datameet@googlegroups.com > Subject: [datameet] Delhi Next Meeting 21st or 28th June > > Hi, > In continuation to the last meeting > http://datameet.org/2013/06/03/notes-from-datameet-up-in-delhi-31-may-2013/ , > we are still looking for a Venue can anyone suggest one , ideally in the > center of Delhi.We can have the meeting on 21st or 28th , ideally i am > expecting to close on this venue and agenda thread by 17th June. > > So what would you like to talk see or hear about in this meeting ? > > thanks > -Satya > Satyaakam.net | fossevents.in | fossacademy.org > > -- > For more details about this list > http://datameet.org/discussions/ > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "datameet" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to datameet+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > > -- > For more details about this list > http://datameet.org/discussions/ > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "datameet" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to datameet+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- Nisha Thompson Mobile: 962-061-2245 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.

[datameet] [delhi] Notes from last week's meeting
Sorry for the delay. I was in charge of taking notes! I am not very good at it so please add anything I missed. Here they are... hopefully also some food for thought for tomorrow's bangalore meeting! Agenda: updates group business larger strategy delhi group strategy - - how do we organize the meetups NIC - delhi instance -requesting datasets Saatya - Working with NIC NIC's Data.gov.in New site will launch next month. There will be more functionality and it will be SAIS enabled so that new instances can be made for states and cities easily. It will be separate from other data management systems and could be another option from ckan and socrata. They will ramp up on social, communication, and community Group Business DataMeet becoming Trust. Current problems we are trying to fix. Google group now at 600 members - Email lists don't grow well how do we keep the momentum going and keep the discussion on the group useful. - build out website where we have a place for events, projects, information in one place People are asking for support for individual projects and also asking if there is a place where they can find projects they can work on. - market place of ideas and projects where people can put their idea and find people to work on it. And also access funds to get the project finished. Getting groups started in new places - interest in having a datameet in other cities but having a hard time getting started. Events - Data related events are on teh rise. We can do focused events on how to work with open data and how we can make it useful Skill building - people want more skill building events we can help organize and publicize them. Big Questions How do we better organize groups across the country? what is datameet work? two or three things that datameet does how do we measure the output of the group what are the two or three problems we are trying to fix? access data from government helping people use that data. how do you get it? what do you do with it? what does datameet mean for delhi? more exposure to different groups especially non technology organizations Datameet while is not great at providing useful project output based events. It is really helpful when understanding the diversity of what is happening. When you go to a datameet you learn about what is going on in data in India. Useful things we can do list of sources they can share data - directory of data Build out narratives and instructions on; what it means to be an open data organizations? we share lots of things mini showcases on the site Presentations on what different things are going on in the data ecosystem. Aggreate different blogposts around data into on place. planet of the blogs collaborate blog tools aggregation of tools and data repository Each city should pick one thing - and follow up with it showcase bit- discover events, etc and bring them to the meetings what support do people need and use the network to figure how to get it to them Advocate for a local state/city instance of data.gov.in increase university/student outreach - How do we maintain the strengths of the current datameet different skillsets keep the diversity keep it alive what are the different audiences and what are they trying to get out of the meetup APPS WE WILL NO LONGER MAKE: woman safety panic apps complaint logging apps -- Nisha Thompson Mobile: 962-061-2245 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.

[datameet] IWP: Data Capacity Building Case Study
Hello All, I have been working with the Keystone Foundation, in the Niligiris on how they collect and manage data. We have been putting together a case study on how water related NGOs in the field deal with data and how they manage it. We decided to document why data is important to them, how it influences their work, and what problems they encounter. We also are offering some solutions and tips to basic problems. The first three posts of the series is up. The first two are background on Keystone and their projects. The 3rd is a post on tips for using excel more effectively for data management and analysis. http://www.indiawaterportal.org/articles/water-and-livelihoods-nilgiris-part-i http://www.indiawaterportal.org/articles/water-and-livelihoods-nilgiris-part-ii http://www.indiawaterportal.org/news/tips-working-spreadsheets-data-entry-storage-and-retrieval This series will continue over the next few months. If anyone has any other tips or suggestions for excel or any other low cost, low tech solutions that could be worth exploring, please let me know! Any comments welcome!

Re: [datameet] IWP: Data Capacity Building Case Study
Thanks guys! We are looking at teh experience local NGOs have with data, and I'm sorry to say technology is a huge issue. Either these devices are too expensive or there are coverage problems. So we are trying to look at many solutions across many technology fronts (including low tech). SMS data collection actually is more useful in a lot of places than an Android App. Whether we like it or not spreadsheets are how most data is collected. We can tout new technology all we like but it's still a ways to go. Also a lot of data that is has been collected is sitting in excel sheets or word docs or paper formats that have been collected in the past. This post has come from many experiences my team had with NGOs trying to clean up past data. The upcoming posts will look at new projects that require data collection and how we can help make it more streamline. I will add these tools to a list of resources though for further reference!

Re: [datameet] IWP: Data Capacity Building Case Study
We're not really disagreeing. I agree with you, but you can't just say they should use Android App! Technology adaption is still an issue with NGOs that work in communities, there are language issues (most data is collected in the local language on paper then translated), technology familiarity, and training and so on. Data management is still done with spread sheets and paper because that is what is easiest to train people with. You can say an Android is easy and cheap, but with a limited budget an NGO will say I'd rather spend the money on something else. The upcoming posts will deal with data standardization, and better ways to collect different types of data. In which tips and solutions technology related will be discussed in this context.

[datameet] [Bangalore] Open Data Camp 2014 Planning Meeting
Hey All!, Let's start to plan ODC14!! Who is free next week? For a meeting? We want to do an election theme? What do people think? We want to proceed with a venue first as to avoid last year's running around. Early April or March 22nd 23rd. I've checked the BarCamp dates and the HasGeek dates those weekends are clear. Anything other dates we should look at?

[datameet] [Bangalore] ODC 14: Election Edition
Last week we had a Hangout to go over the plan for the ODC 14. I want to say we have gotten a confirmation that we can use Google's Offices this year. We need to confirm the dates. March 15th 16th or 22nd or 23rd. Do you all think we will have enough time to get the camp done by the 15th16 th? We need to raise money for travel funds, tshirts, stickers, and some other needs? About 2 lakhs should cover the total cost for the camp. Should we charge for the camp? Last year we were able to cover the costs for food and some essentials by charging. We can also do the same this year. However I feel we shouldn't charge anything more than 500 rupees. 2 days 1st Day Talks around theme: The Theme this camp is Elections: The tracks proposed are the following Election Data Access and Uses Election Data: improving data, privacy concerns, Accountability Data: What information do we need regarding MPs and MLAs and how we get it, how we use it? Data and Election Coverage: How do journalists use data to cover elections? I will do a follow up email doing deep dives for the tracks, who we should invite and how to structure them. 2nd Day Free Space, Hackathon?, Workshops? If we do a hackathon it needs to be very structured with real outputs that have anchors. Citizen Matters is interested advising Some potential projects: Crowd sourcing creation of shapefiles Boundary matching - from districts to MP boundaries - problem solving Also I would like day 1 to generate ideas and projects for Day 2. So that there is non curated time so people can come together and brainstorm and come up with projects for Day 2 and beyond. Build up to ODC Several Events can be done and have been suggested - Free the PDF hackathon - a lot of election data is in PDFs - GEOBLR meeting on shapefile issues The full notes from the meeting are below. Some additional questions: How many people want hardcore workshop? How many workshops? What subjects? Specific people/institution and orgs that we need to Invite? Specific ideas, subjects that we need to handle? Volunteers for printing, reaching out, final day, PR, media etc? Volunteers for the website contribution? IF you want to Volunteer for ODC14 let me know I will be putting everyone who is interested on the Volunteer group so we don't spam the list with the logistics. Let me know what I missed!
