[OpenSpending] Open Contracting and OKCon

Fri Mar 28 13:18:37 UTC 2014

 Hi,

 Really interesting discussion. Procurement is the area we want to work next in Civio (we’re based in Spain), so we’ll be in OKCon to try to find alliances and learn from others’ experiences.

 Friedrich, which two projects are you working on? Are they public, and potentially reusable in other places, or focused in a particular country?

 regards,

I work on two projects related to procurement data, and both would benefit heavily from a data standard. So far I’ve not observed much technical work coming out of Open Contracting - but that may also be a matter of comms? Is there a general timeline?

This could take the form of a sprint or workshop possibly around the open contracting data standard draft for a half day or full day. Apparently there might also be space available through the Wikimedia Foundation. I am curious to hear your thoughts and what the Open Spending community might have already planned during and around the OKCon event, and the potential of collaborating around such a side event.
