Hey all,
Okay, Mumbai meetup is happening!
So we have a place:
2-5 pm. Gnowledge Lab, Room 801
Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education,
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research,
V.N. Purav Marg, Mankhurd,
Mumbai 400088
And yes... Anyone attending, please confirm back on this thread soon.. if
you weren't on the separate discussion thread so far.
Hoping to just shoot a few random points and have some consensus of
thoughts overall. And figure out what we can do that's cool. The community
is quite nascent here as we all know.. and some of us met actually at the
bangalore datameet.
Itinerary:
*- Intros*
*- Talks on Work, Ideas, Challenges*
- *Discussion:*
-Mumbai and its open data challenges.
-On how to take the meetup further. ( Location, resource person list)
Any of the more experienced amongst us have any starter points? (*nudge
Nisha, Thej, et al. )
Thanks and Cheers,
