[okfn-labs] Open Courts went live in Slovakia

[Daniel Lombraña González]

Hi,

This is great! I've just published a blog post in OKF Labs about a case of
analyzing conviction rates in Iceland using CrowdCrafting.org:
http://okfnlabs.org/blog/2013/07/31/crodcrafting-data-journalism.html

Services like Open Court + Mingle.io + CrowdCrafting are the next tools for
citizens to analyze what our society is doing ;-)

I hope you like the blog post!

Cheers
