Hi all,


The OpenSpending community is organizing a global *City Spending Data 
Party *next week on* July 19th to 21st*. The Spending Data Party has 
become reality thanks to groups including Hasadna 
<http://www.hasadna.org.il/en/> (israel), OpenBudgetOakland 
<http://openbudgetoakland.org/>, OpenKratio 
<http://openspending.org/blog/2013/06/30/openkratio.org/> (Spain), 
BudgIT <http://yourbudgit.com/> (Nigeria), OKF Japan 
<http://spending.jp/>, OKF Brazil and OKF Nepal 
<https://twitter.com/okfn_np>. Join us and open up some spending 
data near you!

Who: You, other spending explorers in your city, and the rest of the 
OpenSpending community

Where: In your city. Add it to the list 
<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1Zh-TPxgMiFDrzk-rNJqL9CmCbbtlZmp2xjWlZ6T20TA/edit#heading=h.f0m4z18ez212> of 
places with activities.

What to do at the Spending Data Party:

*- *Get your hands on some budget or spending data from your city and 
add it to OpenSpending. Analyse, wrangle and visualise 
<http://openkratio.github.io/ugr-presupuestos/> the data!

- Connect and learn from community trainings during the event via Google 
Hangouts

- Tell the Open City Data Census <http://census.okfn.org/city/> about 
how accessible data is in your city

- Share what you find!

What to explore in the spending data:

- Do you know how much your city actuallyspendson education compared to 
what itspendson police?

- Do you want to help more people understand the budget of your city?
Maybe you can get ideas from OpenBudgetOakland 
<http://openbudgetoakland.org/mayor_13-15_proposed.html> who created a 
site where citizens can comment and ask questions on the budget proposal.

- Which companies work for your city and do they actually do a good job?
Cities such as London <http://openspending.org/gb-local-gla> and 
Washington DC <http://openspending.org/dc-vendors-contractors> release 
transactional spending data that allows you to see what companies clean 
up the garbage and repair the roads. Let us open up spending data in 
more cities!
