> I was very glad to have had a Skype chat with Anders today and happened to

> (WDMMG)? activities in Japan with you.
>
> We have built WDMMGs in two cities: Yokohama and Chiba. Please see these
> at: http://spending.jp/ and http://chiba.spending.jp/ We built the Chiba
> WDMMG on the last Sarurday, the International Open Data Day 2013. The Mayor
> Kumagai of Chiba was there and very enthusiastic about further developing
> the WDMMG and other interactive public information sharing between the city
> gov. and citizens in Chiba.
>
> Some big city governments such as Fukuoka showed their interest in
> developing their own WDMMG.  I am also keen about making the transactional
> payment data transparent. As far as I know that there are two prefectural
> governments that have already disclosed bottom-lime transaction data online
> in Japan.
>
> I hope that we can further share the development of our activities in
> Japan with you.

> Cheers!
