Hack4Transparency

Mai postánkból. Cristiana Sappa LAPSI projekt menedzser jóvoltából kaptuk meg Daniel Dietrich (The Open Knowledge Foundation www.okfn.org - www.opendefinition.org) alábbi levelét: “Dear #H4T Supporters Could we please ask you to distribute this e-mail message below to your mailing list(s)? Help us to get applicants from as many Member States as possible, we would like to have a nice representation from all over Europe! Many thanks in advance! Best, Herman We would like to draw your attention to a hackathon being organised in Brussels on 8-9 November 2011 within the premises of the European Parliament – focused on transparency. All the info is available at http://www.euhackathon.eu The EUhackathon revolves around two tracks, of which each winner or winning team will be awarded a 3.000,00 euro prize. Deadline for application is 10 October 2011. Apply here: http://www.euhackathon.eu/call4apps/form/ Selected applicants will be invited to come to Brussels for 2 days, their travel and accommodation costs being taken care of by the EUhackathon organisers, courtesy of its sponsors. Oh, and there’s free food! 1. Internet Quality Track This track is about understanding the quality of service delivered by mobile operators to users in Europe. The expectation is that the participants develop innovative and user-friendly multi-platform interfaces to an existing network measurement tool allowing users to know the quality of connection they are getting. The code at the basis of this tool should be the NDT and Glasnost open-source codes available at M-Lab. A special page has been put up by M-Lab for the hackathon here: http://measurementlab.net/euhackathon Global Transparency Track This track focuses on the accessibility of information on the Internet. The purpose is to use the data made available by the Google Transparency Report or other sources like Twitter and research undertaken by groups like, for example, the OpenNet Initiative and Herdict to create new visualisations showing the consequences of censorship and barriers to the free flow of information online, and ensuring users and policy makers get a fuller picture how the Internet is shaped by laws and other government actions. Hope that some of you will be inspired and apply to come and Hack4Transparency!”

New Remote Sensing Data Policy in India

From HUNAGI daily mail. Dr. Claudio Artusio wrote for LAPSI members earlier today:

"I forward you the following news from India (a special thanks to Roger Longhorn for having provided the information): 

The Government of India has unveiled a new remote sensing data policy which allows all data of resolutions up to 1 meter to be distributed on a non-discriminatory basis and on "as requested basis".
The Remote Sensing Data Policy 2011 (RSDP 2011) replaces a 2001 policy which allowed all data of resolutions up to 5.8 metres to be distributed on non-discriminatory and âas requestedâ basis.
The RSDP 2011, apart from opening up the remote sensing sector, will remove certain restrictions to facilitate more users to access high resolution data for developmental activities.
The RSDP however with a view to protect national security interests states that all data of better than 1 meter resolution shall be screened and cleared by the appropriate agency prior to distribution.

The policy adds that government users namely, ministries, departments, public sector, autonomous bodies, government research and development institutions, government educational, academic institutions, can obtain the data without any further clearance.
But private sector agencies which support developmental activities will need the recommendation at least by one government agency.
[...]
The RSDP-2011 comes into effect immediately, and may be reviewed from time-to-time-by the government.
