[OpenSpending] Fwd: [okfn-volunteers] Tracking Europe’s Failed Banks

[Lucy Chambers]

The Open Economics Working Group is organising a data party to gather
data on failed banks in Europe. Thought it could be of relevance here.

For anyone unfamiliar with the notion of data-parties, they are a way
of gathering or working with lots of data from around the world while
being entertained with witty banter. They are online, so no cocktails,
unfortunately :(

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to attend virtually an online sprint / data
party about gathering data on failed banks in Europe.
This would be on Wednesday, October 25th at 5:30pm London / 6:30pm
Berlin / 7.30pm Athens

Please read Anders Pedersen's blog post to learn more about the
context of this sprint and the necessity to have information and data
in this area.

The participation of people from different countries in Europe (and
around the world) would be really valuable, as you would have more
knowledge about local sources of information and the context in your
country.

In order to attend, please add your name and skype ID on the
collaborative etherpad and be online around the appointed time:

We look forward to your participation!
