Patrick Nsukami (Dakar Linux User Group), Pierre Chrzanowski (Open Knowledge Foundation France) and Tangui Morlier (Regards Citoyens) wrote up up a detailed account of how they liberated Senegalese procurements from PDF and published the data on OpenSpending. Félix Ontañón wrote up a post about how he opened up university budgets in Spain. Earlier this month we called for a discussion about the continued growth of the OS project and community based on this proposal.
