The Open State Foundation has been lobbying for financial transparency in the Netherlands quite a while now. The first e-mails on this topic between Lex Slaghuis and James Burke on this topic are from may 2011. At last, we can announce that we have found a first launching partner, and will be releasing the data and launching the portal (www.openspending.nl) in june, the 29th. We also maintain a Dutch blog on blog.openspending.nl.
