[openspending-dev] Update from Spending Party Japan

Tue Jul 23 14:08:23 UTC 2013

Hi all,

We are still gathering updates from the 20 city spending parties organised
across the OS community this weekend.

I however wanted to share some of the great work done by OKF Japan on the
developer side during the spending party. Congratulations to all the
contributors of OKJ Japan including Hagino3000, halsk, takoratta and jmblog!

We can now accommodate more that 100 entries on the OS city
map<http://apps.openspending.org/maps/>
:

A few issues got closed on the OS Satellite template as well:

I personally loved to see the comment module first developed at
OpenBudgetOakland make it on to the site for Koganei city:
http://koganei.spending.jp/

Finally check the full update from Hal Seki below.

Best,
Anders
