[Talk-ug] Next Open Data Day!

[Thijs Kuiper]

Budget data cleaning & visualization: the topic of our next ODD @ The HUB
Kampala, 27th of June, 3-6pm! (Free of charge as always!)

Do you know how much Uganda spends on a yearly basis and where this money
goes to? No? You should! Come help us clean up spreadsheets, visualize them
and upload them to https://openspending.org/ for everyone to see!

This is the data set we're going to use:
http://www.africaopendata.org/dataset/uganda-budget-allocation-1994-2010

I have the pleasure to introduce some great speakers:

- Lydia Namubiru: journalist, writer and researcher. Critical and to the
point. From the perspective of her job as Programme Officer at the African
Centre for Media Excellence (AMCE) she'll give us indepth information about
PDF scraping regarding budget information.

- Warren Nyamugasira & Bernard Sabiti: Warren is an economist and
development activist, while also being a member of the Uganda Open
Development steering committee. Bernard is a Governance analyst at
Development, Research and Training (DRT). They'll give us a clearer insight
about budgets, how budgets actually work and some working examples.
