Hi Bill, actually I am not in Berlin after the Germany embassy denied me a visa.
Sorry about that.

Hi Jed

Development Initiatives (DI) in Nairobi and Development Research and Training (DRT) in Kampala are currently working on turning http://opendevdata.ug into a joined-up data portal. I won't be in Berlin, but Bernard from DRT will be.

Best

Hello, all,

Glad to be linked up with friends and colleagues here.

I've included a short self-introduction below, but am writing to seek your availability and interest in a working session this Friday in Berlin, for groups focused on linking datasets from multiple sources in order to "Follow the Money" for greater accountability and real policy change.

With Alan Hudson and the Follow the Money network (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/FTM_network), we're proposing this session as a morning breakout during the Fringe Event day following OKFest.

If you are working to link and "join-up" data to turn interoperability into powerful advocacy, it's a chance to share our projects and see where the overlaps and potential advocacy and data linkages are.

The draft session plan is attached and open for comment on a Google doc. We've also linked it on the hackpad for Friday's Fringe Event, below:

Follow the Money Working Session Draft doc:

Please take a look and let us know your interest and availability during the Friday agenda. You can also share comments in the Google doc.

Looking forward to seeing you in Berlin and at the session!

With thanks,

Jed Miller
