Marco, could you present to the p2p blog?<br><br>many thanks,<br><br>Michel<br><br><br clear="all">SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!<br>
===================<br>
<br>
If you haven't seen it yet, check out the new OpenSpending site (<br>
<<a href="http://www.openspending.org/" target="_blank">http://www.openspending.org/</a>><div id=":1tu">).
The team have been hard at work over<br>
the past few months, securing and uploading a massive new release of<br>
Italian spending data in April, getting all that <a href="http://data.gov.uk/" target="_blank">data.gov.uk</a> data for<br>
government spending over �25k put in, and creating some fab<br>
visualisations. It was really exciting to see the site go live in time<br>
for OKCon 2011!<br>
<br>
The long-term aim of the project is to track every government and<br>
corporate financial �transaction across the world and present it in<br>
useful and engaging forms for everyone from a schoolchild to a data<br>
geek. So if your country, state, or city isn't yet involved, we'd love<br>
your help getting that data input from all over the world! Head over<br>
to the site for more info.<br>
