*Where*: Join via IRC channel <https://webchat.freenode.net/> #openspending
or skype (ping me at SkypeID: anpehej).

*What will we work on?* You can have a look at the tasks we are planning to
work on in the Trello
board<https://trello.com/b/7E5enK5J/openspending-news-and-website-team>.
Please add tasks and claim issues that you can help to fix!

We will be working throughout November 23rd. Come join, even if you only
have got an hour or two to spare!

Best,
Anders
