This is our first time doing it on a Sunday. I have to confirm a time. So if you could RSVP that would be helpful. There is a lot to discuss in terms of group business so there might not be a project presentation this time. IF someone does want to make a short presentation please let me know. And I'll see if there is time. Tentative Agenda: Announcements group business larger strategy Bangalore group strategy - - how do we organize the meetups Data.Gov.In Bangalore/Karnataka Instance -requesting datasets Thanks Everyone!

If you see our poverty indicators, we clearly know the regions and the communities that are left behind. For example: UP, Bihar, Orissa. This chart is particularly indicative: http://codeformumbai.org/index.py?page=dataset&fname=Shortfall_In_Health_Infra_As_Per_2011_Population_Prov_In_India_2.csv What clearly lacks is the "conviction" to tackle poverty or in other words - to create basic infrastructure and assets (roads, school, hospitals, power plants) in the regions that need them the most. If you read papers like Mint, you get the impression that FDI is the most important topic in our national agenda. I would love to see a newspaper that collects, prints poverty statistics by region, community on a month by month basis and actively tracks creation of community assets.
