And just like that, we turn 8 today! 🎉

It feels like @CivicDataLab has outgrown its kindergarten phase and evolved into a high-energy kid - more curious, fearless, running to new places, and climbing new heights. #CDLturns8

As CivicDataLab turns 8, we recently came together for our Quarterly Planning to reflect on how far we've come and collectively shape what comes next. (👉 Swipe through for the glimpses)

Over the course of two days, teams worked in groups to discuss priorities for the upcoming

beyond agendas and work plans.

What stood out most was the collective energy in the room. And of course, no planning session is complete without pizza. 🍕

Here's to eight years of us, to the many ideas, partnerships, and possibilities that lie ahead.

Northeast AI Talks is back, and this session is asking a question that doesn't get asked enough:
- Is the language data we're building AI on actually ready?
- Not just "does it exist" but is it licensed correctly?
- Does it cover the right domains?
- Is the metadata there? Are privacy concerns addressed.

For Indian languages, especially low-resource ones across Northeast India, this gap is real and it's holding back the entire language AI ecosystem.

Session 2 brings in Saesha Parekh from @CivicDataLab to lay out a clear framework for what AI-readiness actually looks like and what it takes to get there.
