[OpenSpending] Open spending calendar - call for your thoughts

Wed Jan 9 11:16:26 UTC 2013

Hi Lisa,

I think this would be really useful.

Our area is limited to aid/development spending data, but we're currently
working on some tools to track upcoming releases according to donors' own
schedules [1] and also to track what data is actually being released [2],
and how good that data is.

This work is very specific to data released under IATI (and I guess we're
lucky to have a more centralised publication location and a standard for
the data), but I guess the principles are similar, so I thought I'd share.

Hello and happy new year to you all.

The open spending team is looking to make a calender tool that will allow
people to keep track of when important open spending data releases are
coming up and showcase organsiations who use these data sets.

We are looking for your views on this. Would you use such a calendar? If
so, how would you like it to work?

There's a form on this blog post for you to kindly complete.

Best wishes
Lisa
