I'm a serial lurker on lists and I lie in wait for interesting tidbits to use myself and share with my buddies ;)
I also design and implement Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects a.k.a. interventions, solutions for development organizations as well as communities. Data makes up a significant part of all these projects so I have been developing my own toolsets to work with it ( http://bitbucket.org/mojolab). I met Nisha at the TechCamp in Mumbai, which is where I heard about this list and so now I am here doing what I said to start with. I am also looking for people who want to donate time developing tools to manage data. Some of the people I work with: CGNet Swara <http://cgnetswara.org>, The Mojolab Foundation <http://mojolab.org> and हैकरgram <http://hackergram.org> Cheers Arjun On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 9:39 AM, Rahul Saxena <[email protected]>wrote: > Why I joined the group: to look for opportunities to help use data to > improve our society. > > About me: I've built analytics teams to help companies use data to improve > their business.
