receive an invite for the Google Hangout. You can also simply join the
Google Hangout or the webchat, when we drop the link on the mailing list
Wednesday before the call.

*What is on the agenda?*

- Test-run our new app!

Come and have a look at the first prototype of a brand new application that
we at OpenSpending are creating in collaboration with the data journalism
agency J++ <http://jplusplus.org/>. The application is intended to help
citizens understand spending. We are particularly thrilled to show this as
we hope that members across the community will fork and deploy it locally
in new languages and currencies.

- Help us put suggest improvements to IMFs Fiscal Transparency Code:
A few weeks back Marc Joffe took up the initiative to pitch the first
notes<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1mKbLL11XA9uDGRxH981BZUtURW3kty7Bb2iTvCJU7_Q/edit>for
a response to the consultation on IMFs Fiscal Transparency Code. We
will add more to the consultation and are eager to have your input.

I hope to see you at the hangout!

If you are not able to make it, fear not. The feedback for the app will be
circulated after the call. As for the IMF consultation you can already
contribute by heading over to the google
doc<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1mKbLL11XA9uDGRxH981BZUtURW3kty7Bb2iTvCJU7_Q/edit>.

Best,
Anders
