[datameet] [Bangalore] Data Party! Garbage Go!

[Nisha Thompson]

HI All!

DataMeet, Citizen Matters, and Mapunity have joined forces to start
creating open urban data that is actionable. While we know that data isn't
the only thing going to solve a problem as involved like garbage, usable
public data needs to be created and kept in the open. So we are launching a
monthly Data Party!

Sept 24th we are launching a month long campaign to collect location
information for Garbage blackspots.

Join us on Saturday in 3 locations (Koramangala, Indiranagar, and
Frazertown) to have tea and map some garbage. (Meet up places will be
announced soon.)

If you hate Facebook here is the sign up page:

We need volunteer to get trained on
the app and how to help people map so if you want to be a point person
please email me and we will be scheduling a time early next week to do a
run through of the app and how we are going to troubleshoot some problems.

Thanks!

Nisha
