[datameet] Re: census micro housing data
Shafeeq, I had worked on Census micro-data; the dataset covers about 12 million households and the estimates are available at state and district levels. So, to your question whether you can extract village level information, the answer is no. Variables available are- house-quality (material of roof, floor, etc), water and sanitation facilities, electricity, cooking fuel, access to banking and a small set of household assets (TV,radio, computer or laptop, car or truck, motorbike or scooter).

[datameet] Open Access Week Oct 20-26
Hi all, I was suggesting couple of the groups members we plan for the open access week much ahead this time and try to get real attention to open-data in the country across all major cities. Apart from hosting meet-ups and camps, we can try getting publications, really interesting visualizations, applications and data tools, make important datasets public, articles over major newspapers. We can solve the pin-codes problem and publish the dataset, we can try to get the open standards in transportation document published during that week. Publish one resource every day of the week. Let`s try to get in NIC and Department of Science Technology, Department of Electronics IT. The government is trying to get closer to the public with http://mygov.nic.in/ and https://egovstandards.gov.in/node/2202 , they should be interested in helping us. Anybody wants to suggest any RTI`s we can file to get out some important information within next two months. Air pollution data can be sought too. Electricity consumption, affordable housing, water consumption, Emergency calls of crime, fire, accidents (EMRI might have this data for Hyderabad, Chennai), public property data, municipal waste data are few areas we can get something out. Bangalore has a lot of municipal data, IBM is helping bangalore managing water supply, ESRI is helping Bangalore Municipal Corporation with mapping the city. This can help us show the importance and use cases of open-data, we can also propose NIC to work on the city portals when they see the importance.

[datameet] [Bangalore] Notes from Last Thursdays Meeetup
Hey Everyone, I wrote a post on last Thursday's screening of the Aaron Swartz documentary. http://datameet.org/2014/09/03/bangalore-screening-of-the-internets-own-boy/ We were a small group but we were able to discuss the changes to the Karnataka Goonda Act and the addition of the term digital offender The post includes excerpts from that law and some questions we asked about it that night. How has this act been used in the past? Why was there a push to include digital offenders? In some articles it seems software companies are trying to go after piracy. The definitions are vague and can be used in a lot of instances. If I send my friend a copy of a song that I have purchased, can I now be taken to jail for 12 months? Please take a look at the post and feel free to add your thoughts.
