[datameet] Mapping Nepal to support emergency response.
Hello everyone, Everyone at OpenStreetMap and HOT have been busy making sure we have all the map data required to support emergency response in Nepal. It's been several hours since the task got activated and we need more hands - If you are in Bangalore, come to Mapbox's offices and join us to improve the map from 1PM - details here - https://www.mapbox.com/blog/nepal-earthquake/. If you are not, go to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake, select a job and start mapping - you will need an account on OpenStreetMap and please make sure to read the instructions. We want to make sure the data that is being generated at this point is accurate to the highest degree. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you and really appreciate your time. Cheers, Sajjad. -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.

Re: [datameet] Official source for India boundaries
Hi Arun, I think these boundries are sort of official: http://mnre.gov.in/sec/solar-assmnt.htm (Look at the GIS data layers section) According to my experience, those shapefiles are from Survey of India, so they are as official as you can get.

The AC shapefiles in the repository https://github.com/datameet/maps/tree/master/assembly-constituencies are sourced from the Election Commission http://psleci.nic.in/default.aspx but they don't seem to have an option for JK so that the boundaries can be verified. Am I missing a source or is there really no official shapefile from a Govt source that I can cite for JK boundaries? -- Arun Ganesh (planemad) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Planemad http://j.mp/ArunGanesh -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.

[datameet] [DataMeet Delhi] Delhi Water Data Meeting, 25th April 2015
Dear all, The Delhi Jal Board has released the Summer Action Plan 2015 last month. The Plan sets the water production targets for all Water Treatment Plants in Delhi for the summer, and identifies a series of strategies -- such as making functioning of water tankers more efficient, and locating vulnerable areas of water contamination and sewer blockage -- to reduce wastage of water and ensure more effective distribution, especially in the Juggi Jhopri colonies that do not have access to piped drinking water. On Thursday, April 30, Sundeep Narwani of Delhi Dialogue Commission, who is working closely with the Delhi Jal Board, will join us to discuss the data challenges faced by the Board. We are specifically inviting organisations and individuals working on issues of water and sanitation so as to follow up Sundeep’s presentation with an open discussion towards identifying a set of key data points that must be collected and opened up for effective decision-making and monitoring of the implementation of the Summer Action Plan. The meeting will be held at Akvo office, and we will begin at 5:30 pm. Address: C 19/A, Green Park Extension C/o BARTHAKUR (*as mentioned on the nameplate at the entrance)* Closest Metro Station: Green Park, take the Gurdwara exit Landmark: Akvo office is a short walk down the Gurdwara road towards Kamal Cinema. Its second house from the Hotel South Gate .
