[Os-datawrangling] Fwd: Reminder: Philippines Aid data & Website Sprint Tomorrow Nov. 23

[Anders Pedersen]

Hi,

The data on aid commitments available from Yolanda, have some fairly
interesting column break down, which could be useful for visualisations in
OpenSpending [1].

For example:
class: cash vs. non-cash
type: financial aid, military assets

Also thanks to Mark for sharing this project [2]. Would be great to see if
we can align the efforts.

Let me know if any of you want to work on this now or during the sprint
tomorrow, Saturday.

Best,
Anders

All,

This is a reminder that we will be having an online Sprint tomorrow
Saturday.

*Help visualise aid commitments for the Philippines*
Today we received a request from the gov agency behind the aid tracking
platform in the Philippines, FAiTH [1]. They have asked if the OpenSpending
community can help out with a visualisation of the data of the aid
commitments for the Yolanda emergency, which they are collecting [2].

You can take part by joining the sprint tomorrow or start working with the
data right away!

You should also take a look at this great project from Mark, which is based
on IATI data for the Philippines [3].

*When:* Saturday, November 23, from 14CET, 8EDT to 20CET, 14EDT - your time
zone<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=OpenSpending+Website+Sprint&iso=20131120T07&p1=263&ah=6>.
Let us know when you wish to join in this
Doodle<http://doodle.com/eqqru66kbwqf9wdv>
.

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

I hope to see many of you tomorrow!

Best,
Anders
