Dear all, Apologies for not being present at the last Delhi DataMeet-Up on 31st May, and also for not being able to organise one in June. I have been traveling throughout this month (in fact, am away from Delhi right now) and could not gather time to organise one.
But there is good news too. On 16th July, there will be a panel discussion on 'Open Data and Developing Countries' at India Habitat Centre as part of the Regional Meeting of the Exploring the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries <http://www.opendataresearch.org/emergingimpacts>(ODDC) research network. And Nisha Thomposon (and Tim Davies and Michael Gurstein) will be in Delhi for the same meeting. Tim Davies is a researcher, presently pursuing PhD at University of Southampton, who has written substantially about the policy and public use of open government data in UK. He is also coordinating the ODDC research network. Here is his research blog: <http://opendataimpacts.net/> Michael Gurstein is a champion of 'community informatics' and a globally renowned analyst of ICT4D policies and practices. He blogs at: < http://gurstein.wordpress.com/>. As the Regional Meeting will take place on 16th to 18th July, can we organise the July DataMeet-Up on *Friday, 19th July evening*? Am not sure if Tim and Michael will be available on 19th evening but we would surely invite them for it. Please suggest a suitable place for the meet-up. I hope we can expect a gathering of around 20 people this time. Here is a brief agenda for the meeting: *1.* Update on data.gov.in activities from Satyakam. *2.* Update on the 'Opening Government Data by Mediation: Exploring the Roles, Practices and Strategies of Data Intermediary Organisations in India' project by Sumandro/Zainab. *3.* [add further updates] *4.* Setting the future agenda for DataMeet Foundation/Trust, and the next set activities in Delhi. Satyakam (Goswami), Nasr (ul Hadi) and I had a brief discussion about collaborations between DataMeet and Hacks/Hackers. It would be great if Nasr and other members of Hacks/Hackers can also join us on 19th. For those who, like me, missed the last DataMeet-Up, here are the meeting notes by Satya and Nasr: < http://datameet.org/2013/05/16/datameet-up-in-delhi-friday-31-may/> Also, I will soon share the invitation to the panel discussion on 'Open Data and Developing Countries' mentioned above.
