Re: Invitation to Speak to W3C eGov Group

I haven't been particularly active in the eGov IG but I would love to
hear a presentation from Shane Shifflett and Cole Goins of the Center
for Investigative Reporting about their experience opening up access
and visualizing Veteran's Affairs data:

    http://source.mozillaopennews.org/en-US/articles/creating-api-veterans-affairs-data/

Also, it would hearing from Derek Willis about his work at the New
York Times on their Campaign Finance API, and tools that use it:

    http://developer.nytimes.com/docs/campaign_finance_api/

If there is interest, and you need contact information let me know.
