I'm afraid Leo is offline most of this week enjoying his summer vacation and won't be back online until the 20th of July. If the proposed 24th of July is not good for you then we may have to reschedule.<br>

    by any chance swing that. Could also do same time this tuesday (the<br>

            Dear Susannah,<br>
<br>
            thanks for the response - great to hear about your related<br>
            plans!<br>
<br>
            Our site and tool  documentation are mostly in Finnish, as<br>
            we believe in localization in the open government data<br>
            context. The documentation is at the moment lagging a bit<br>
            behind tool development due to the volunteer-driven nature<br>
            of our project. But we are right now working to improve the<br>
            documentation. The current tool documentation is available<br>
            through the wiki at (google translate may help):<br>
            <a href="https://github.com/louhos/soRvi/wiki/Data" target="_blank">https://github.com/louhos/<u></u>soRvi/wiki/Data</a> and the source<br>
            code for each tool can be found from the GitHub account at<br>
            <a href="https://github.com/louhos/soRvi" target="_blank">https://github.com/louhos/<u></u>soRvi</a> And (preliminary)<br>
            installation instructions for the sorvi R library at:<br>
            <a href="http://louhos.github.com/sorvi/asennus.html" target="_blank">http://louhos.github.com/<u></u>sorvi/asennus.html</a><br>
<br>
            Most of these tools concern Finnish open government data and<br>
            may not be as such directly applicable for your purposes.<br>
            But they could provide a starting point. We would like to<br>
            promote & network similar initiatives in other countries as<br>
            there would certainly be overlap that can be utilized.<br>
<br>
            It would be great to discuss together related issues. At<br>
            least some of us would be available for a phone/skype<br>
            meeting at least on July 20-24, August 7, and then August 20<br>
            onwards (summer holidays now ongoing here in Finland, and<br>
            many people go off-line). Let us know how these times would<br>
            match -<br>
<br>
            best regard,<br>

                Hey Leo,<br>
<br>
                Thanks for getting in touch. We took a look through your<br>
                site and it looks very interesting, but is there any way<br>
                to learn more about the specifics of the tool you offer?<br>
                We have an in progress project which is especially<br>
                relevant to your work, and might even be able to take<br>
                advantage of code you have already written. Any chance<br>
                we could hop on the phone this month to describe and get<br>

                    Dear Engine Room admins,<br>

                    In the Finnish Louhos project<br>
                    (<a href="http://louhos.github.com/en" target="_blank">http://louhos.github.com/en</a>), we are working to<br>
                    collect comprehensive software libraries to analyze<br>
                    society and decision-making processes based on<br>
                    publicly available data resources. Our project aims<br>
                    to combine latest advances in data analysis to<br>
                    up-to-date data resources and to provide freely<br>
                    available analytical research tools for academics,<br>
                    NGOs, journalists, citizens, and other target<br>
                    groups. I felt that this project is within the scope<br>
                    of your initiative, therefore wanted to follow your<br>
                    request and send a note. We will be happy to provide<br>
                    further information of the project, if you wish.<br>
