[open-government] Conference on RTI in Morocco seeking an expert on reuse of public information.

Mon Aug 27 14:45:53 UTC 2012

 Dear friends,

The National Human Rights Council of Morocco is organizing a conference on access to information right to which a number of international experts are taking part. The aim is to inform the government, which is currently drafting an RTI law, and civil society of the highest standards and best practices on a number of issues, including reuse of public information. This is why I am writing to the members of this list to seek assistance in finding a potential participant who can make an exposé on the subject of the reuse of public information. The conference will be held in Casablanca on the 21 and 22 September 2012. Flight and accommodation cost are covered by the Council.  

Thank you for you assistance,

All the best,

Said Essoulami
Conference Advisor.

Dear friends,

It is my great pleasure to announce the launch of a new way to explore
Georgian election and voter list data!

*For the first time in Georgia, you can **access election result information
* <http://data.electionportal.ge/en>* as well as voter list information
online and in an easy way.*

*Over the past several months **JumpStart Georgia*<http://www.jumpstart.ge/>
* has, with funding from the **National Democratic
Institute*<http://www.ndi.org>
* in Georgia, been working hard to take the **Georgian Central Election
Commission* <http://www.cesko.ge>*'s raw data and curate it in a variety of
ways that the public can more readily consume be it visually, in tabular
format, or even in its raw format.*

*There is a lot of data you can explore in the application. These records
include not only summary data for each presidential, parliamentary, local,
snap-election, and voter list since 2008, but each set is broken down by
candidate/party and additional indicators including total turnout, percent
total turnout, and votes per minute. In addition, each indicator for each
election can be perused by region, district, or precinct. The data is
available in Georgian and English.*

*You can share each view, each indicator online using social networks such
as Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, you can also export each map and each
set of data you are looking at. The map is exportable in SVG format to make
it easier to edit and design for a variety of publications. The data is
downloadable in Excel and CSV formats, making it quite usable to as large
an audience as possible. *

*One of the greatest things about this application is that while it
succeeds at making the information explorable for the majority of users, it
assumes that you might want the raw data to go further than the application
currently does.*

*Currently, we are working to prepare the application to showcase precinct
results as they are announced by the CEC on Election Day on 1 October 2012.
We believe this will be of value to you, journalists, NGOs, and also to the
international community at large as they seek to follow and understand the
parliamentary elections in October and presidential elections next year.*

*JumpStart Georgia?s Election Data application will be sharing the **Election
Portal* <http://electionportal.ge/>* with a number of Georgian NGO?s
observing, researching, analyzing, and reporting on the upcoming Georgian
parliamentary elections in October, including **ISFED* <http://www.isfed.ge>
*, **GYLA* <http://www.gyla.ge>*, **Transparency International
Georgia*<http://www.transparency.ge>
*, and the **National Democratic Institute* <http://www.ndi.org>* in
Georgia.*

*If you are using this application in your research, reporting, or if you
just find it interesting, please let us know at
**feedback at jumpstart.ge*<feedback at jumpstart.ge?subject=Election%20Data%20application%20feedback>
*.*

*Enthusiastically,*

*Eric Barrett*
*Executive Director*
*JumpStart Georgia*
