Online Data Quest: Gov. COVID-19 Spending
Hacktoberfest Online Meetup
Event Description
🕵🏻 What is "Keep the Receipt"?
Keep the receipt is a partnership between The Public Service Accountability Monitor (PSAM), OpenUp and several amazing volunteers. The aim is to catalogue South African provincial and national government spending related to COVID-19.
The aim is to convert the existing documents into a machine-readable, searchable format. Codebridge is calling on the broader tech community to help with this task.
👪 What is this event?
The above constitutes a total of around 1000 man-hours. Therefore, Codebridge is calling on the broader tech community to volunteer some time over the weekend in service of social good and governmental accountability.
Core project members will be available for Q&A's or to help if you get stuck during the day.
⏰ Do I need to stay from 10AM to 6PM?
Not at all. You are welcome to pop in and out during as needed.
