[open-government] Antw: Re: Idea: General City Council API

Tue Dec 10 09:07:08 UTC 2013

I slightly hi-jack this thread for a question: Is there a data format /
sepcification for  council  agendas / meeting minutes. Actually I am
more interested in meeting minutes: who talked what for how long / is
representing whom / coming from which party.

Regards,
   Johann
