[euopendata] [open-government] Open Legislative Data Conference in Paris - July 6-7

Thu Jan 26 13:51:23 UTC 2012

Hey Maria,

that's really awesome! I'm from Brazil, from a group called Transparência
Hacker (also a member of Brazillian OKFN Chapter). We've been working a lot
with legislative transparency around here, it would be great to connect and
share some info.

(Also spreading the word on the event around here!)
