[OpenSpending] Notes from last week's call: Technology for Participatory Budgeting

Tue Mar 6 16:18:50 UTC 2012

Many thanks Gilles - I will add that to the agenda, I think that will
prove a really useful framework around which to have our discussion!

Gilles, could you add your Skype ID to the etherpad so that I can add
you in advance of the call? (http://wdmmg.okfnpad.org/pb2)

Looking forward to speaking soon,

Lucy
