[datameet] Re: India 2001 census data village-wise
I have received some of the Census'01 village level data that you're looking for. Can send once the entire dataset is available. Let me know if you still need the dataset.

I am basically looking for information at the village level from the 2001 census (e.g., population of the village, number of households in the village, etc.) The data is available online at the census website here http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Village_Directory/View_data/Village_Profile.aspxbut it is not available in a spreadsheet. I have already tried web scraping the data, but it is painfully slow, so I'm wondering if I can find it elsewhere.

[datameet] [IMPORTANT Group Business] Status of DataMeet - Please read til end- (sorry long email)
Dear All, The list has reached 760 people! Over the last 3 years what we have done: 3 Bangalore Open Data Camps 2 Hyderabad Open Data Camp - This year they are planning one in June Meetups in Delhi and Bangalore Scrapathons and Hackathons Workshops Freed some datasets helped projects along the way- (Thanks for all your help with India Water Portal) over 900 threads of great advise and sharing 1 new group (GeoBLR) Gave the NIC standard recommendations http://datameet.org/standards-for-data/ There is probably tons of stuff I'm missing feel free to add things on this thread! This is what we know about DataMeet Data for a Civic Purpose - seems to be the common theme in all the topics we are covering. The group is not just developers and data scientists, a lot of new people are journalists, civil society members and just people interested in understanding the data world better. It is an interesting group of people and I'm very happy to be able to participate in the conversations and sharing we have had here. But we are also ready to do more, and really move the open data culture forward in India. Over the next few months we will taking a look at the group and trying to figure out what king of structure will help us be more productive and help spread the idea of open data and building data capacity. As a Trust, it was agreed upon by Thej and Anand that we will not raise any institutional or programmatic funds til we (as a group) have discussed, debated and agreed to the By Laws, and those By Laws are then signed by the board. The exception being sponsorship funds and support for events and workshops. However none of those funds will be spent on non events work. The Centre for Internet and Society has supported us by letting us use their address and paying for our registration fee. How will we do this? I have quit my full time job at Arghyam to spend more time with this community and articulating the things we want to accomplish. I have set up a first iteration of the idea Market Place which will eventually be where we put our ideas and projects. Here: http://datameet.org/things-to-do-or-talk-about/ I'll be adding a wiki page with all the ideas generated from ODC2014 and the list over the next few days. So we can see them in one place and start to form groups of people and find other networks and partners interested in pursuing them. This is our first step is organizing our thoughts and finding others. Then we can create a decision making process that will allow people to pursue projects and ideas in chapters and interested groups. Please take this thread to give feedback, thoughts, ideas, and volunteer to help us build out the website so it is more friendly for people to use. Over the next week. I will be sharing my thoughts in order to keep the discussion going. Also we will be populating the website with stories from why datameet was started and also sharing the thought process behind why we formed a trust. There is no set time period for how long we need to figure this out. Let's start the discussion.

Re: [datameet] transliteration tools?
I've used the unidecode library for Python to go from Devanagari to Latin script. It works reasonably well.

Re: [datameet] A library that tell story by generating a blogpost from data in excel sheet

They are using an excel file, instead of a plain text file, where one might one would had semantics similar to any config file. Since people with minimum programming language can use excel, they have used the row by column form of excel.
