Announcing the ExpenseVisualizer

[Sébastien Pierre]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the mailing list, but have been active in the world of open-data & government 2.0 for a couple of years now.  This first post is an announce for a project I've been working now for almost two years, using data collected by VisibleGovernment.ca.

I invite you to play with it, and more importantly, share and discuss your findings !

We're very proud to announce today the public release of the ExpenseVisualizer, a tool to visually explore Canadian Federal Travel & Hospitality Expenses. You can learn about it on our blog http://ffctn.com/blog, on our project page http://ffctn.com/expensevisualizer or even try it online http://ffctn.com/a/expensevisualizer/.

One of the great new features that has delayed the public release is that you can share your findings by simply sending the URL: target a specific time period, department and position, and simply send or embed the link in your blog post -- readers will be able to see what you did and continue exploring from there !

Please spread the word and promote tools for a more transparent democracy !
