[OpenSpending] Russian public spending developers contest

Thu Feb 27 08:00:58 UTC 2014

Hi Anders,

Sure I will add ticket soon. I am not 100% sure about hangout 5 March but I
will try or probably to convince my other colleagues to join.

Guest post is great idea. I've already submitted post to OKFN Communities
Tumblr. In guest post I could focus on technical aspects of this project.

Best Regards,
   Ivan
