ODCBLR Hyderabad Preevent
Calling data and code enthusiasts in Hyderabad: Please show up to learn and to contribute to a common pool of election data resources.
Hyderabad Urban Labs hosts on March 8, a pre event for Open Data Camp 2014 Bangalore. The day long event starting at 9 AM going on till 3 PM will be at Hyderabad institute of Liberal Arts on Banjara Hills Road No. 11.
The Open Data Camp is an annual event in Bangalore with several followup events in other cities where data and code enthusiasts, professionals, students and open source activists gather up. This year's theme for the main ODC is 2014 Election Data.
The idea is to create a large common pool of openly accessible data for analysis and visualizations.
This will be of interest for everyone interested in open data and its politics. But in general the sessions are technical in nature and most useful for people who work with geospatial data.
