Re: [datameet] Data release as part of Open Data Camp
Hey folks, Proceeding on the lines of what Karthik suggested - it would be a really neat idea if we can come up with a voluntary pledge to release data into the public domain, on occasion of the Open Data Camp 2013. I'm sure that a majority of us here at Datameet have some amount of data with us that has a public quality to it - where its utility and public benefit grows leaps and bounds if it's released to the larger public. I'm fully aware that most data sets people possess come with riders - a government agency might have given it to you for personal/institutional use and not for sharing it with the wider public. Or you may not be finished with the data you've collected - and you don't wish to release it until you've extracted a good amount of value. And all this is perfectly fine. In the former case and in several other situations, I'll admit that I've been far more comfortable sharing data with individuals I trust than truly releasing it into the public domain - and this is where I disagree with Karthik - I don't think most of us data hoarders in India, we're just far more comfortable sharing it in private. However, it will be great if all of us can take a look at what data we have and see how much we can put out into the open without too much trouble. Data has a strong network quality to it - the more data sets you have, the more value one can extract by looking at their relationships. Now, we can do this in three ways: 1) We announce what we're willing to share here on this email thread. (I can go first!) 2) We share our intentions with our gracious organisers Thej/Nisha and we go with the public release at the Data Camp for greater effect. 3) Some of you might even want to share the data anonymously, and we might need an intermediary (like what Thej does with the wonderful http://openbangalore.org/) Let me know what you all think.

People can upload/download from it anonymously (that is in case they dont want share details. Uploaders can include a contactme.txt if they want) Later we can share it online. Probably Anand will help us to upload it to Archive.Org.
