 Hi Thejesh,

 The best place to discuss this is here -

 There are Wikidata contributors who had been working on this, who might

 Hey folks

 Has anyone here scraped the election results for UP from the ECI
 website? Hope you can share some of the data. :)

 Specifically, I'm looking for constituency-wise data on voteshares of
 the top ~2-3 vote winners in each.

 It will be good, if you can suggest open e-learning sources for

 great work. hope this helps. cheers.

 9. Hilarious! Needs datameet written underneath somewhere while people
 puzzle it out! I get the pink-blue but perhaps a more attractive shade of
 pink and blue may help overall attractiveness. Or use more quirky colours.

 5. If it can be made less broad. Captures spirit of datameet perfectly!

 Other stuff was very attractive but I guess I'm big on reading meanings
 into things ;-)

 Hey Everyone!

 Before March's Open Data Camp we wanted a DataMeet logo and had asked
 people to contribute some design ideas.

 We were expecting maybe 1 or 2 ideas that we would adapt.  But were
 overwhelmed by how awesome everyone on this list is and received almost 15
 or so design ideas!

 We really couldn't decide which to pick.  We narrowed it down to 9 of
 the best designed ones and are putting it up to the group to decide.

 We want to keep the logo decision to people on this group. So this is
 how this going to work.

 1) Check out the logos at this link:
 http://datameet.org/wiki/logocontest
 2) Pick the logo you like
 3) Each logo has a corresponding number to left of it.
 4) Reply to this thread with the number of the logo.

 The logo with the most votes wins.  We won't count any votes that are
 not replies to this thread.

 The contest will close on the 20th of May.

 Thank you to the designers! Special shoutout to Anand Doshi for
 designing so many!

 We don't have a prize for the designer yet but we will think one up.

 We might edit the final logo slightly, but will keep the integrity of
 the overall design.

 Nisha and Thej

Activists name and shame heat wave suspects
  Bangalore Mirror Bureau | May 3, 2014, 02.00 AM IST
  [image: Activists name and shame heat wave suspects]















  Soaring temperature has triggered extensive debate among Bangaloreans in
 the past few months. Despite the claim by weathermen that the mercury
 levels are well within the summer normal range, people are experiencing
 intense heat across the city. Even as many wonder what could have made
 Bangalore — a city known for its salubrious climate — resemble a boiling
 cauldron, environmentalists point fingers at five major culprits.* Nidhi
 Yalburgi* take a closer look


 *1. WHOPPING REDUCTION **IN TREE COVER*

 As per estimates by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc),
 loss of green cover has opened up the city to direct sunlight. Experts are
 of the view that in each of the 198 wards of BBMP, there should have been a
 minimum of 20 per cent green cover. But currently, it ranges between 2-10
 per cent, adding to the rise in temperature. A decade ago, the city had 111
 villages within its limits, with lots of lung space dotted with large
 trees, and natural depressions filled with water. But rapid urbanisation
 has converted all these into a concrete jungle.

 *2. Disappearance of tanks/lakes*

 Bangalore was once known to have around 940 lakes, but has around 200
 lakes on paper today, though many of them are nothing more than sewage
 pools. Also, around 50-60 per cent of the city's economic activity was
 earlier centred around agriculture and horticulture. Experts believe that
 these water bodies, to a certain extent, controlled temperature levels by
 adding moisture into the atmosphere. Today, many of them are just filled
 with sewage and absorb more and more heat, releasing greenhouse gases.

 *3. Glass towers which create heat islands*

 Innumerable glass-fronted buildings across Bangalore are also contributing
 to the high temperature during summer. Such buildings are a good fit in the
 city landscapes of countries in the cold West. But when copied to an Indian
 urban setting, they contribute majorly to the soaring temperature. A study
 by green activists has revealed that these glass buildings radiate heat,
 creating heat islands across the city, which then converge to raise surface
 temperature by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius more than the average.

 *4. Metallic toys burn more than rubber*

 As automobile and vehicle tyres burn rubber, there's collateral damage to
 the environment too. As per the study, vehicles, along with buildings,
 contribute to a 12 per cent increase in the heat level per day. Heat from
 vehicle combustion, as well as the mixing of sun rays with vehicle
 emissions, adds to surface temperature. With hardly any green cover to
 absorb this radiation, the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere and is
 circulated uniformly along the surface.

 *5. Lack of open spaces and waste-burning *

 Experts are of the view that open spaces within cities would moderate the
 climate. Bangalore has already lost several of its lung spaces either to
 land sharks or illegal settlements. About 40,000 hectares of area around
 Bangalore is under construction, though a third of it should have been set
 aside to provide green cover. Additionally, about 10-15 per cent of
 municipal waste is being burnt everyday, releasing dangerous hydrocarbons
 into the environment.



 The actual victims of this mindless urbanisation are the old citizens of
 Bangalore as they are unable to cope up with climatic changes. Large-scale
 radiation by buildings in the absence of trees has increased the levels of
 ground level or bad ozone, and hundreds of reports in this regard have been
 quietly sidelined. What we need is political will to tackle these
 activities.
 *A N Yallappa Reddy, IFS (Rtd), ecologist *

 Urban planners need to focus more on increasing green cover at the ward
 level. Green cover at every ward is
