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.
