Hackathon
On Sunday 23rd March @ Google Bangalore
We have three tracks for the hackathon based on the datasets. The datasets will hopefully be available locally at the event in a considerably sane format for everyone to consume. More details soon.
We will add details about the datasets whenever we have them. Meanwhile, if you have ideas, please populate the sections below.
Main event website: Open Data Camp 2014
1. Election Data
The Election Data is broadly what we have been collecting in the Datameet Github repository. If you have ideas on what we can do with the data, please note them below:
Types of Data Present
Ideas
Mapping voter perception with growth indicators
Creating Tools to help voters find their polling location
Scrape Bangalore - Polling locations and adding it to openbangalore.org/maps
Match candidate names across years.
2. Census Data
Datasets
2011 Household Tables and Primary Census Abstract
Ideas
Can we work on getting Census data in to electoral constituencies?
Consolidate census data from
here per state. - either one table of all variable for the whole country. Or all variables per state in a table.
Calculate percentage of missing voters using Census and Electoral voting data for each constituency.
This is tricky. Census is always at the district level and it will involve aggregating the voters list to the district level.
3. Data Journalism
Ideas to create with Journalists
What are some of the most used words, phrases, promises on politicians websites?
What are political parties talking about the most?
How are the schemes doing? Can we tie them to MP/MLA constituencies and assess how an elected official has performed?
4. Misc Ideas
Find all the datasets that is shared on the datameet Google groups and create a catalog.
Write/draft letter to ECI about releasing the AC/PC shapefiles.
