A list of people with twitter tags would be helpful. Just so that we can connect before the event. Also is it possible to have a link to the datasets being used. I had no idea that the indian government actually releases data to the public.

Akendewa[1] organizes Hackathon Babi 2010 Hackathon Babi 2010's Blog. The aim is to bring together Ivorian developers and lovers information technology for one day and put up one or more applications using the free data access. This is data from the World Bank, those published by the Ivorian government and of course those that users may provide in respect of laws on data releases free access.

We expect the Internet to let us know that the type of applications they deem appropriate. We believe such an application to provide information on elected officials and traditional leaders of Côte d'Ivoire would be very helpful.
