[datameet] ODC 2017 This weekend!

[Nisha Thompson]

Hi All,

ODC is a few days away. The Agenda is shaping up. You can see it here:

http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2017#odc_day_1

We are excited because we will be starting day 1 off with a public health
role playing game and then going into the talks. Which feathers talks from
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Open Budgets, and  OpenCHS. We
aren't finished scheduling all the talks so stay tuned for the rest of the
schedule.

We would like to thank Mapbox India for sponsoring Happy Hour at the end of
day 1!

Day 2 will feature a short workshop on Privacy and Security, time for a
working group on the National Statistics standards and statistical policy
and a movie screening on Manual Scavenging. As well as any other ideas or
projects that people want to work on.

PLEASE REGISTER.

We had sold out once already and were able to open up more seats but we are
running out. We will only be counting registrations from Instamojo if you
signed up on Facebook or Meetup it won't be counted.

See you then!
