Hello All I am very excited to announce that last year DataMeet managed it's first project! Last year after conversations with several people it seemed there is a growing demand for data projects from journalists, NGOs, and others who don't have big budgets to deal with expensive vendors for short term data outputs, and volunteer events like hackathons are not producing satisfactory results.
So we partnered with Gramener to see if this is actually something we could do. We worked with Arghyam and their ground partner on creating Water and Sanitation report cards for the Bihar election. While there was definitely a learning curve we feel like it was a success and something we definitely wanted to try again and smooth out the wrinkles. Please see the full report here: http://datameet.org/2016/02/09/bihar-elections/ We will be trying to do 2 of these types of projects this year. So you have some time and want to work on one you can sign up <http://goo.gl/forms/MoCIYj8SJv>. We haven't selected a project yet but should know in the next few months.
