Agenda:
=====
The meeting is purposely kept unstructured. The intention is to introduce the Portal and what we have been doing and future work plans, and hear from users of the Portal, about their user experience and what they find useful on the Portal. We would like this to be a highly interactive session with people learning about each others' work and making connections.
In order to make the meeting more useful and stimulating we are arranging for some guest presentations from some other groups who have been involved in their own efforts in using information and communication technolgies for the water sector.
1.)There would be a small presentation from C-DAC regarding their INDG.in project which has been doing work in taking information and knowledge to the people in local languages. The website is http://www.indg.in
There would be some more such presentations.
We invite all people interested in the Portal or the general area of the use of IT in the water sector to attend the meeting.
