[okfn-za] Cape Town budget for dummies

Tue Apr 23 14:14:29 UTC 2013

Hi guys.

It looks like the Jozi chapter of HH is pulling together a hackday focusing
on municipal (city) budgets. Theresa is organising speakers, thematic
experts, etc, with a target date for June 15. The Cape Town chapters of HH
& OKF might want to stage something on the same date, so everyone works on
common solutions, etc?

Also, Rufus, shouldn't we channel whatever comes of out this through
AfricanSpending.org?

Cheers,
Justin
