I hope as meany people can make it. As you may know for over a year now 15 organizations from 5 countries in Latin America have created the Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency and together we promote transparency, access to public information and accountability in our Congresses. Take a look at our website to see our publications and projects. Please let us know if we can help in any way in the organization of the event. Feel free to contact us. Daniel, yours is a good review of what we all do! Thanks for posting it. I'll circulate it to our contacts.

Hi everyone,

From the premises of TheyWorkForYou to the latest portuguese Demo.Cratica we now have plenty of citizen initiatives among the world working on parliament data. Let's all meet up together with parliamentary researchers to share and confront ideas?

We are organising on July 6th & 7th in Paris with researchers from the Sciences Politiques institute an international conference aimed at gathering both academics and hactivists working on parliamentary and legislative issues.

The « Open Legislative Data in Paris » conference will be held in english to ensure a maximal participation from communities all over the world: academic studies, parliamentary informatics and citizen monitoring projects, or combination of both are all welcome! Our common projet with SciencesPo and its MediaLab will present during the event the first prototype of a legislative evolution monitoring tool.

All participants from various horizons are very welcome to present their work, within 15 minutes talks or 5 minutes lightning talks. We are thinking especially to all of you everywhere, who develop cool parsing, scraping and visualisation tools on any parliament chamber, working on votes, presence, legal texts, and so on! :)

Submissions to make a presentation should be made online before April 1st. Subscription will come later on : http://www.lafabriquedelaloi.fr/conference/submit-a-proposal/

If you really want to come but can't do it for financial reasons, we can support a selection of people to the extend of our limited budget. So don't hesitate to sollicitate us for a help at picri@regardscitoyens.org

Similarily, if you can offer or advice for financial support, you're very welcome to e-mail us as well.

More details can be read in the pdf attached and online on « The Law Factory »'s website: http://www.lafabriquedelaloi.fr/conference/
