[OpenSpending-discuss] Official Launch of OpenSpending Blog

Fri Oct 28 12:35:33 UTC 2011

Hi All,

The long awaited OpenSpending Blog has finally been launched! It can
be found at http://blog.openspending.org.

We will be using the blog to update on developments to the platform,
community, tips & tricks for data wrangling and 'behind the news'
stories about how journalists extract stories out of the spending
data.

Our first post is about feedback we received at the Global
Investigative Journalism Conference from journalists wanting to use
the platform to assist their stories:

We also welcome feedback and contributions from you for the blog! Are
there interesting developments in your country related to spending
data, new datasets, obstacles, new legislation related? Please drop me
an email...

Until next time,

Lucy
