The Fifth Elephant

Pune 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 Pune and is open for all.

When: July 14-15, 2012, 2 PM to 10 AM
Where: AmiWorks, #3b, Ambika Co-Op Housing Society, Near Chaturshringi Mandir, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune – 411 016

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.
