Bangalore Data Hacknight, July 14

The Fifth Elephant includes a series of meetups, hacknights and workshops leading up to the main event. This hacknight is in Bangalore and is open for all.

When: July 14-15, 2012, 2 PM to 10 AM
Where: The Centre for Internet and Society, No 194, 2^nd C Cross, 4^th Main, Opp. Domlur Club, Domlur 2^nd Stage, Bangalore – 560 071.

The data hacknight is open to enthusiasts, geeks, designers, mathematicians and statisticians. It is an occasion to work on a data project that you have always wanted to, be it:

Finding patterns in datasets and coming up with interesting analytical models.
Working on visualization challenges - how you would like to represent your data.
Working with a new tool, such as R, Excel, Pig, Hive, or even Hadoop.
Building a cluster overnight, if you have set your eyes on the sky!
Scraping data from sources and creating a repository.
Other ideas that you may have!
Or, take up one of our challenges and work with the datasets!

If you have datasets that you would like to share with others, create a proposal out of it by giving more information about the dataset, links or pointers so that others can come up with ideas.

The hacknight is free with a ticket to The Fifth Elephant. If not, a cover charge of Rs 500 applies. HasGeek will keep you well fed and caffeinated during the 16 hours of hacking.
