This is a great idea Nisha, Just some thoughts. We should do a visioning exercise, i.e. when can we say public data in India is truly open and how do we imagine Datameet can contribute to this goal? Some reflections from you guys on Datameet's journey so far would be useful here.
Also a lot of Datameet's work/initiatives have been spontaneous and member driven, which is great but there's also a lot of potential to be explored in organizing our work better. Data shared here is useful especially for researchers, and those involved in citizen facing campaigns. Perhaps we can think about how to make their work more effective, through capacity building, maybe regular workshops? So that these data science tools/skills don't stay limited to this community but end up in the hands of people directly working in public policy/development.
