Hi All! Last year we did a lot of things however we haven't been able to really capture it all on teh blog. So we are pushing ourselves to get blogposts up about all the events, talks, and achievements from 2015.
I wanted to highlight two things we have just blogged about. 1) DataMeet, RHOK and CIS wrote a letter to the organizers of Urban Hack calling out privacy concerns: --http://datameet.org/2016/02/02/to-hack-or-not-to-hack/ -----For the community this was a big deal as we have not really gone into the privacy concerns of open data. However as smart cities and increase awareness of data and open data there will be more hackathons and I hope as a community we can assure privacy and security concerns are kept in mind. 2) Consultation with Sikkim regarding their open data portal http://datameet.org/2016/02/03/sikkim/ -Sikkim's adoption of an open data policy was a great first step and their move to be the first state with an open data portal is exemplary. We were honored to be apart of the process. If there have been any other events or accomplishments from last year please feel free to reply and we can get a post up.
