[datameet] Logo Contest Voting!

2014-05-18 Thread Vijayaraghavan R
I'll go for 6 and 8. 

I don't understand why one needs a bar graph in the logo. The words 'data' and 
'meet' are enough to set the context. I think the logo should be easy to 
understand. We are here to un-complicate data, why then complicate the logo.

[datameet] Re: Indian Elections 2014 - ECI Datasets

2014-05-18 Thread Dilip Damle
Hello to all, 

Thanks for this data. 

I was wondering if there is a way to Uniquely identify the Contestant 
If someone wants to create a track record of the contestants over period 
then this is important
Just name is not sufficient. 

I tried to look for Duplicate NameParty combinations

Including independents there are 97 duplicate combinations
Excluding independents there are 16
 7 candidates named as Chandu Lal Sahu contested  from Chhattisgarh, 
Mahasamund
Since they are from same constituency there are obviously different 
individuals. 

However there is no way to differentiate multiple persons with same name 
and Same person contesting in two constituencies.
Any way out?

information)

This will be a tough nut to crack with just the name.. especially because
fielding 'dummy candidates' with same or very similar names is a fairly
common practice.. Used to split votes.. As employed by the veteran ajit
jogi in mahasamund.. Maybe eci will make some kind of identification number
mandatory in future, or they have already.

Re: [datameet] Security Issues with the Voter List

2014-05-18 Thread Snehashish Ghosh
Dear Gautam,

Thank you. This is very interesting. I wrote a piece on this issue right
after the failed Google-ECI deal in February http://goo.gl/e9Xea0
The UK approach seems to be a good one. In UK there are two voter lists -
full list and edited list. You can choose to be removed from the edited
list during the time of registration or at anytime thereafter. The edited
list is available in the public domain and the full list is safeguarded by
purpose limitation and UK Data Protection Law.

Hey Everyone!

Before March's Open Data Camp we wanted a DataMeet logo and had asked
people to contribute some design ideas.

We were expecting maybe 1 or 2 ideas that we would adapt. But were
overwhelmed by how awesome everyone on this list is and received
almost 15
or so design ideas!

We really couldn't decide which to pick. We narrowed it down to 9 of
the
best designed ones and are putting it up to the group to decide.

We want to keep the logo decision to people on this group. So this is
how
this going to work.

1) Check out the logos at this link:
http://datameet.org/wiki/logocontest
2) Pick the logo you like
3) Each logo has a corresponding number to left of it.
4) Reply to this thread with the number of the logo.

The logo with the most votes wins. We won't count any votes that are
not
replies to this thread.

The contest will close on the 20th of May.

Thank you to the designers! Special shoutout to Anand Doshi for
designing
so many!

We don't have a prize for the designer yet but we will think one up.

We might edit the final logo slightly, but will keep the integrity of
the
overall design.

Nisha and Thej

Thanks Nisha and Thej :D

I’ve used Pixelmator to make these, but it can export to photoshop
too. Let me know if and when you need the files.


Thanks,
